I know that this is probably totally off-topic, and I do apologize.

There has been some ongoing banter on the FreeBSD forum regarding why
Postfix,or some other MTA were not in the base system as opposed to
Sendmail. One poster posted the following. Obviously, I am only
interested in the Postfix portion of the post.

// QUOTE //

You might consider also that Postfix is under the IBM license which
has an "advertising clause" that is incompatible with the Berkeley/
FreeBSD license that FreeBSD is under - and EXIM is under the GPL
which is utterly and totally incompatible with the FreeBSD/Berkeley
license and would probably cause problems for commercial users of
FreeBSD.

// END QUOTE //

I was just wondering if that is actually true. I had never heard of
that before.
