Vendors:
I'd be interested in hearing about any CDs that include the package,
but you don't have to check with me if you don't want to.

If you want to distribute modified versions of qmail
(including ports, no matter how minor the changes are)
you'll have to get my approval.
This does not mean approval of
your distribution method, 
your intentions,
your e-mail address,
your haircut,
or any other irrelevant information.
It means a detailed review of the exact package that you want to distribute.

Exception: You are permitted to distribute a
precompiled var-qmail package if
(1) installing the package produces exactly
the same /var/qmail hierarchy as a user would obtain
by downloading, compiling, and installing
qmail-1.03.tar.gz, fastforward-0.51.tar.gz, and dot-forward-0.71.tar.gz;
(2) the package behaves correctly,
i.e.,
the same way as normal qmail+fastforward+dot-forward installations
on all other systems; and
(3) the package's creator
warrants that he has made a good-faith attempt to ensure that the
package behaves correctly.
It is 
not acceptable
to have qmail working differently on different machines;
any variation is a bug.
If there's something about a system
(compiler, libraries, kernel, hardware, whatever)
that changes qmail's behavior,
then that platform is not supported,
and you are not permitted to distribute binaries.
