It's interesting that copyright holders feel it's necessary to force
people to advertise their software. What happened to making your
software good enough that word of mouth happens on its own, and people
advertise your software because they want to?
It's also interesting to note that this requires that you advertise
"powered by Maia Mailguard", even if you've modified the software in
incompetent ways. It's the opposite of a renaming clause--it essentially
prohibits renaming.
