"Dan Bernstein (qmail's author) only gives permission for qmail to be
distributed in source form, or binary for by approval. This package has
been put together to allow people to easily build a qmail binary package
for themselves, from source.
This package builds a binary .deb that is FHS compliant and conforms to
the Debian standards guidelines. The resulting binary packages are not
suitable for re-distribution. "
Yes, just like netqmail, DJB's 'license' allows for the final effect
that you can get from software using 'approved licenses'. You get the
modified source code and build scripts necessary to create the binaries
you want without politics about proprietary extensions or what not.
Plain and simple.
Very much unlike other licenses that attempt to lay on restrictions
outside of copyright law.
