I have been doing research on qmail and the licensing that it is under

what I would think is his official statement posted at
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html Now between the two pages I am not
sure this covers all versions or just the one version.
Now the real question is since it is public domain as stated on those
pages what is fedora's official stand on qmail and is there a
possibility of Fedora including a qmail package in the future.
I am not asking which is a better mail package or server just what kind
of issues there may be that would possibly prevent Fedora from including
qmail in their distributions.
I hope no one in their right mind would redistribute the stock smptd
that accepts everything sent to it and then generates bounces to the
senders if the recipient doesn't exist. It is not fun when this gets
hit by a dictionary attack by spammers...
