I don't think Yahoo uses qmail any more - they use a custom MTA that
they wrote in-house.
However we do, and are one of the larger installations of qmail (2500
servers). However as a commercial company, like AOL, we don't have a
problem with the license. We can develop our own implementation and
request a license from Microsoft to do so. The qmail license would only
affect us if we wanted to distribute that code to others.
However that doesn't imply we're entirely happy with the sender-id
license. If the licensing block adoption then it is an issue,
regardless of the legal status.
