syncing with Horde

I am not subscribed to the new list yet, so I am sending this directly
to you. I
think MS is OK with the BSD license, just not GPL style ones that require
keeping additions in the public.

I am not sure whether the new MS license will hold up in court either and I
haven't looked at the actual document. I just remember an article on
slashdot a
while back about this.
