Hello,

I am starting to advertise more widely RaSPF, my SPF library.

It's sort of a C version of PySPF.

You can find more info about it at http://raspf.blogsite.org.

While it's not strictly compliant, it's pretty close (It fails only the
exp-syntax-error and require-valid-helo tests.)

Also, if the webmasters of www.openspf.org can add it to the
implementations page, that'd be nice!

Best regards,
   
I will add it when I get a few minutes if no one else does first.

I took a quick look at your SVN with an eye to licensing/distributing 
questions.  I think you should spend a few minutes thinking about the 
licensing for your project.

First, IANAL, so this is probably all wrong, but here I go....

pyspf is licensed under the Python software foundation license and you have 
carried that forward.  excc is GPL v2.  hash is under the BSD license.  udns 
is LGPL.  bstrlib is also BSD.

From what I know about it, PSL, BSD, and LGPL code can be linked against each 
other with no problems.  I am uncertain (and don't know enough about C to 
have an opinion either way) if your use of excc intermingles GPL and non-GPL 
code in an unacceptable way.

I would suggest you look into this and make sure you have things the way you 
want.  If I were to hazard a non-lawyer guess, if you use excc you will have 
to license the package as a whole under GPL (which I think you can do).
