It is not free. We have previously rejected software with similar
functional restrictions (though the name escapes me at the moment).

Non-free clause from http://www.maiamailguard.com/license.php
reproduced here, for cc'ing to the RFP bug:

> 4.  At least one of the following branding conventions must be used:
> ~    a. The Maia Mailguard logo appears in the page-top banner of
> ~       all HTML output pages in an unmodified form, and links
> ~       directly to the Maia Mailguard home page; or
>
> ~    b. The "Powered by Maia Mailguard" graphic appears in the HTML
> ~       output of all gateway pages that lead to this software,
> ~       linking directly to the Maia Mailguard home page
> ~       <img src="http://www.maiamailguard.com/images/poweredbymaia.gif";>
>
> ~    c. Rebranding License
> ~       is obtained from the copyright owner, exempting the Licensee
> ~       from 4(a) and 4(b), subject to the additional conditions laid out
> ~       in that license document.

                       compiler being used finds a legitimate interpretation
                   which is different from that which the user had in mind."
