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.
Sorry, should have been more clear. Your point was my point, I see no
problem here.

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?
Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
