Ahem.  FYI, Qmail is NOT open source, not by the official definition
of the term, and it is much less Free Software.  You do not have the
right to modify the software and redistribute your modifications!

Daniel J. Bernstein isn't in the business to write open source or free
software.  He's in this business because it looks like he wants to
stroke his ego.

It just riles me every time someone makes the mistake of calling
packages that simply have the source available 'open source'.  Qmail,
djbdns, even Pine and Pico, are not software of this type, although on
the surface they look like that.  At best they are free (beer)
software.
