daemontools asserts copyright but grants no licence. It's not clear that you have any rights to it at all, and that theoretically puts you in a risky position if your business depends on it. qmail's licence doesn't allow you to modify the source and give a copy of the modified source to anyone. It doesn't allow you to even build a binary image and give that to someone, unless it is built in the way prescribed by djb (who wants to put binaries under /var ?? Sorry but that's what djb says) Of course that doesn't stop you using it, but it's because of those things that qmail is effectively dead - all development input from the open source community has been stifled. And hence other projects (like courier) are born. Regards, Brian. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: See the NEW Palm Tungsten T handheld.
