Mailman v2 is under the GNU GPL v2, so please use "commercial" rather
than "proprietary".

The GPL does not require publication of your sources, only source
distribution under the GPL to your users, who get all the rights they
need for free software.  I am quite sure cPanel respects the terms of
the license, and I always have respected them for that.  It is a legal
business decision to distribute source *only* to your users.  We can
disagree with that decision on various grounds, of course, but it has
no effect on the freedom or legitimacy of that version of Mailman.

As you correctly point out, it does restrict the availability of
support for cPanel Mailman 2.2 users to the vendor currently.  The GNU
Mailman Project has no interest in providing it now or in the future.

Regards,
Steve
