qmail, DJB licensing

[Reini Urban]

What are the isues about qmail license restrictions now?

Most know that it's vastly "superior" over other MTA's.
(i.e. people tend to like it more)
E.g. sourceware uses qmail
   http://sources.redhat.com/lists.html#what-software

I see in the thread around
   http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg01651.html,
that qmail has no acceptable license to include it into cygwin,
because it cannot be guaranteed that it will work reliably on that 
"crappy platform" (simplified). Maybe just with dropping vpopmail support.

Still the last word?
Maybe provide a source package only? Igor suggested such a trick, but 
then the thread drifted into something completely different. (RPM 
support, ant, ...)

Sergey's original porting thread
   http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg01593.html
also drifted into something completely different. (mysql server)

Still waiting on DJB's approval?
