no it does not, dude re think what you have said
it does not stop your freedom to study share or change
it 
if it does 
1. those who made changes to it should be sued
2. those people who made changes to it should have not
released patches
3. didn't you know several better new MTA's "learned"
alot from qmail?

The issue here is FACTS, and what is TRUE it was never
 been the license
