The above isn't totally clear to me - whether "yes" was meant as my cooperation, and where "he" refers to me handing over a copy of the code... To be clear, I have nothing to do with "getmail6"; it's a fork. As long as they abide by the terms of the license (GPL v2 only), that fork is allowed. Whoever's behind it has never contacted me; I only found out about it from other mentions in my mailing list.
