A number of software packages written by Dan Bernstein do not have
licenses that are Free or Open Source.
Many software packages written by Dan Bernstein do not have licenses.
As such, these packages cannot be considered OSI Certified Open
Source Software. This may impact you if, for instance, your company's
legal department mandates that only licensed software be used.
The copying terms for qmail are given at
http://cr.yp.to/qmail/dist.html:
Bernstein's rationale for not placing his software under a license is

Information for distributors
Bernstein's redistribution conditions are described at "Frequently
asked questions from distributors":
If you're a distributor, you should join the qmaildist mailing list.
http://cr.yp.to/distributors.html
You may distribute copies of qmail-1.00.tar.gz, with MD5 checksum
d3033be700fd6f59ac0548c832652dd3.
You may distribute copies of qmail-1.01.tar.gz, with MD5 checksum
1f606d6a5d1caaca6da6b6fa5db500bf.
You may distribute copies of qmail-1.02.tar.gz, with MD5 checksum
01071fe52b5257adb4bb6bcf8149eb16.
You may distribute copies of qmail-1.03.tar.gz, with MD5 checksum
622f65f982e380dbe86e6574f3abcb7c.
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.
The pkgsrc team warrants that we have made a good-faith attempt to
ensure that our packages of Bernstein's software behave correctly
and meet his redistribution conditions.
