Re: Commercial mail client now free - source code availabl
They say:
we will give free permanent licenses to anyone who requests
one. Also, if you are interested in obtaining the source code for
Ishmail, send us a request.
Sounds very non-free. If they close down shop and leave it
non-redistributable like this, it will die a horrible death.
