Hi,
Does @NFG intend to change DBmail someday in the future to a comercial
software?
The short answer is: no.
The long answer is: never!
DBmail is and always will be GPL licensed.
First of all, we believe in free software and don't see any viability in
a closed source approach to infrastructural software at all.
Second, major portions of the code base are copyrighted by IC&S and
Aaron. NFG cannot change the license even if we wanted to, which we don't.
It's very important to us that there be no misconceptions about our
intentions. The certainty that future dbmail releases will always be GPL
licensed is crucial for the credibility and viability of this project.
Any suggestion of the possibility of a commercial fork would quickly
destroy the user base, methinks.
We're rather thinking along traditional open source business model
lines. Support services. Consultancy spinoff. And we're using dbmail
internally to power some really nice new hosting services launching
soonly. Watch this space :-)

Watching the server logs while clients were being audited by certain
large firms has convinced me that there's almost no value in such
certifications.
