THANKS.mxf (4093B)

      1  ...:: Thanks
      2 Changes to notqmail that make notqmail NightmareMail are licenced to you, the
      3 user, as termed in doc/LICENSE.mxf. This is similar to the CDDL, except there
      4 is a resumptibility clause. Please take into mind Bernstein's softwarelaw
      5 article - you may still use the program while your licence is terminated. The
      6 licence only governs redistribution.
      7 
      8 Notqmail itself appears to be available under the Unlicense.
      9 
     10  ...:: Upstream patches
     11 As stated in README.mxf, I've obtained a license from the developer of
     12 qmail-dnsbl. qmail-dnsbl is a part of MXF. Thanks Fabio Busatto! I
     13 reproduce the text of the email in which he licensed the patch to me
     14 below.

     16    Hi Ellenor
     17 
     18    feel free to download, use, modify, and redistribute the qmail-dnsbl
     19   patch at your own risk, as it doesn't come with any warranty and it's
     20   not actively maintained.
     21    I hope this could be useful for your scope.
     22 
     23    Best,
     24    Fabio
     25 
     26 I interpret this as a rough 3 clause BSD license, but if you're Fabio and
     27 that's a misinterpretation, I am willing to be corrected.
     28 
     29 Changes to the patch that made it apply to qmail-smtpd.c are licensed as
     30 termed in LICENSE.mxf - however, they are so minor (filename changes) that
     31 they most likely aren't copyrightable.
     32 
     33 Paul Jarc (PRJ)'s realrcptto patch,
     34 https://code.dogmap.org./qmail/#realrcptto, is also incorporated into MXF.
     35 Paul Jarc placed this patch into the public domain. Thanks Paul! This
     36 should reduce backscatter spam, which is a problem my friend Lightning
     37 at Ultradian Club has been experiencing with his mailserver.

     39 Our sold-separately replacement for qmail-remote, MXF Remote, includes 
     40 sections lifted not-quite-verbatim from qmail-remote. Notably, Connector
     41 uses the control file procedure from qmail-remote with few modifications,
     42 having split it to get routes for a protocol and to fetch actual protocols
     43 from a new ctrl file.
     44 
     45 James Craig Burley's (burleyarch.com) ISO C patch is also incorporated into
     46 MXF, from its origins in notqmail and netqmail.
