I think the email from Marco is trivial because he says so. I think the improved script on the postfix list crosses the creativity threshold and could be subject to copyright. However, if no copyright holder has identified themselves, I doubt they can prove it, but that's not usually enough for debian - we try to be nice to programmers and respect their work. Copyright holders don't absolutely have to identify themselves, says http://www.iusmentis.com/copyright/crashcourse/requirements/ It might even be able to suggest that posting it to http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2000-09/0392.html implies a permissive licence, but it would be nicer to ask luciano l. mannucci and Wietse Venema if their part can be used under whatever licence. > Please CC me as I'm off-list. Done.
