Procmail is GPL< isn't it? One could just fork it…

Death was familiar with the concept of the eternal, ever-renewed hero,
the champion with a thousand faces. He'd refrained from commenting.
The problem with that is that the bulk of Procmail users are
operating it on ISPs with shell accounts and the like rather than
personally controlled machines, and so would have to do installations at
the local, rather than the system, level, which creates issues, both
because of the perceived difficulty (note qualifier), and because of
permissions issues.
OTOH, the credible threat of a fork might engender changes in the
posture of those involved which would encourage further development.
