Not the spec file alone. The source RPMs are at
http://www.hjp.at/apt/redhat/SRPMS.qpsmtpd/

I don't think putting the spec file alone on a web site is that useful,
as it needs all the patches, too. Basically everything in the source
RPM. So I put the source RPMs on my web page (there's a link on
http://wiki.qpsmtpd.org/install:rpm-install_howto).

I find your definition of proprietary very strange, but a few seconds of
googling brought me to
http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-file-format-rpm-file-format.html
(Don't know if this is still up to date).
