That's a good point but the difference is that sendmail, apache etc. are
all very well-known established products who I imagine do not have
difficulty finding funding from major companies.  freeVSD on the other
hand is not.

1.4.10 is available from CVS I believe (I cant remember but either try
the main tree or "1_4_10") and afaik Idaya have no plans to make freeVSD
non-GPL.
