I made a few queries and calls back and forth with CMU, and they said it was fine to use Sieve in this project, GPL and all, as it does not interfere with the original licensing. That license says basically says (not a real quote here ;-) "keep this notice in the source, and do not blame CMU for causing your computer to explode, etc etc"
Unfortunately, Sieve is written against a few calls in the general Cyrus library, and that license adds an ugly advertising clause, requiring that you place a notice in your running program that some of the software was developed at CMU. I asked really nicely if they would lift that requirement, but they declined (funny how they added this around the same time Berkeley removed it from the BSD license!). I was working on replacement parts and interface code in pipe.c, but then got really sidetracked with other projects. If anyone would like to pick up on the work, I can give them the skinny on what parts of the Sieve library CMU said we could use without hassle. For now, though, I haven't got any time to work on this :-( Aaron On Wed, 24 Jul 2002, Chris Hilts wrote: > Aaron: > > I couldn't find your email address in the archives, but I did see you > expressing an interest in SIEVE email filtering/sorting with dbmail. > Did you pursue this?
