All this talk of trademarks is pointless. If you want to respect DJB's contribution, don't name it qmail, period. You don't have any legal obligation to, but there's a pretty strong moral obligation. Not to mention that it would be quite confusing for someone to start releasing a package called "qmail" - we'd have qmail (from djb), net-qmail, and qmail (new release) or something like that. If you want to hack on it, just call it qmail-new or something totally different. Problem solved.
