New license for UW-IMAP
[Please Cc me on replies as I'm not on the list.]
Just as I was about to write a note to this list regretfully noting that
after a long grace period UW still hadn't come up a license that met the
DFSG so my new upload would be going into non-free, I looked at my mail
and saw an announcement that imap 2000 had been officially released
yesterday. Under an "open source" license! So here is the UW Free-Fork
license. Thumbs up or thumbs down? (I plan to fulfill clause 2 by
changing the version number to 2000debian.)
