google for qmail licensing and you will get the idea. In section 1.8 of Life with Qmail http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#license 1.8. License qmail is copyrighted by the author, Dan Bernstein, and is not distributed with a statement of user's rights. In http://cr.yp.to/softwarelaw.html, he outlines what he thinks your rights are under U.S. copyright law. In http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html he grants the right to distribute qmail source code. Binary distributions are allowed under the terms described there and in http://cr.yp.to/qmail/var-qmail.html. The bottom line is that you can use qmail for any purpose, you can redistribute unmodified qmail source distributions and qualifying var-qmail binary distributions, and you can distribute patches to qmail. You can't distribute modified qmail source code or non-var-qmail binary distributions. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
