Re: [fetchmail-devel] Add MAPI support to fetchmail

Hi Matthias,

To quickly introduce myself: I'm one of the OpenChange developers and am
mentoring Yangyan for the Summer of Code.

OpenChange is licensed under GPLv3 or later; in other words,
incompatible with GPLv2-only licensed code but compatible with "GPLv2 or
later" licensed code. Is this a problem?

If it is, would it be acceptable if Yangyan's contributions were under
these three licenses but not OpenChange? I imagine the support for MAPI
would be a compile-time option anyway. Changing the OpenChange license
is not really an option since it relies on Samba, which is GPLv3 or
later as well.

Cheers,

Jelmer
