Re: Sendmail vs. Postfix vs. ?

["Casey Boone" <ophidian_snake@hotmail.com>]

i dont understand why it not being bsd licensed has anything to do with 
using it.  the licensing issues would only affect(effect?) you if you 
modified it in some way and wanted to redistribute it.  IIRC postfix is in 
the ports collection and you compiling/installing it is in no way restricted 
by the license it is under.

you might have something if there were commercial usage restrictions or 
something like that, but if you have no interest in redistributing a derived 
product then why care?

just my opinion
