sorry for not explaining fully: i meant to suggest starting a project
which imported the last james release and added the extra function not
vice-versa. those who want james+domain-keys and are happy with the
reciprocal licensing could obtain it from this new project.

I would not reccomend branches. I prefer to alter james in order to provide the needed extension points so that the code can be a plugin and added to the official james with few efforts. I wouldn't like to see James branches for each feature that is not patent or copyright compliant (like jcluster, maildir and so on). I think this is my duty to try to avoid this while I'm in the PMC.

But I think this will more clear once Tom will attach the code to JIRA and we know what code is involved by the patch.

Btw if you want to take care of this issue (both technical and legal) we
would really appreciate this.

i can't promise to take care of it but i'll try to help out...

thank you

Maybe writing to the SpamAssassing PMC and to Cliff Schmidt (cliffs at
ASF) is the fastest path: would you mind taking care of this?

i'll look into it...

BTW the right thing to do is post the question to legal-discuss rather
than cliff personally

You probably know what to do better than me, so feel free to do what you think is right :-)

Thank you again,
Stefano
