If you re-implement rec_get() under GPL then no-one will come after you.
On the other hand, if you read or write Postfix queue files, then
your program is not supported, that is, it will break when changes
are made to the queue file details. I always provide backwards
compatibiliity for Postfix programs, but never for other programs.
