- Matthias Pigulla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

| I am makeing heavy use of Dan's functions (e.g. strallocs), and so
| I'd like to know where I can find the qmail license.

Dan believes in not giving explicit permissions which are already
granted by law.  See

  ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/softwarelaw.html
  ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/qmail/dist.html

In brief, you can do anything you want with the qmail source code, in
bits or as a whole, as long as you do not redistribute.  If you do
want to distribute your code with Dan's library code, you will need to
get his permission.  (But you can always distribute your own code with
instructions for the user to get the qmail code independently and
merge with your code before running make, etc.)

Someone will surely correct me if I have it wrong.  Advice like this
always seems to end with a disclaimer, so here is mine:
I am not a lawyer, and happy about it.
