Cobalt Mailscanner/F-Prot PKG

[Julian Field]

This worries me.

Please can you produce proof that you have permission to
distribute F-Prot for free. I do not want my name associated with anything
like this that is "legally dubious" which this most definitely sounds.

Install other stuff, fine, there aren't any licence issues there, but I do
not like the idea of anyone distributing F-Prot without written (on paper)
approval from the F-Prot owners and their lawyers.

Please can you confirm this, or else please stop distributing this
immediately.

The F-Prot owners are currently being very friendly and
helpful, I do *not* want to upset them....
