Well - DJB does not permit distribution of changed sources or
pre-compiled binaries that will not install in a way as qmail does. We
don't do either of this.
Plain qmail is patched with qmail-ldap and compiled and installed on the
server at server install time and entirely at the user's discretion. We
say this in so many words on our license screen during installation.
deepOfix does not ship with a pre-compiled binary of qmail nor does it
ship with its modified source code. We believe that this is a correct
interpretation of DJB's qmail distribution terms.
Cheers, Abhas.
