Not good for anyone that gets suckered into paying a billion $ for
"McAfee SpamKiller Enterprise(tm)", but even if they can stop the
SpamAssassin as we know it, I'm sure someone will fork-off "OpenSA"
shortly thereafter ;-)  I think SA falls under the Perl licence...

I hate NAI, but you'd think that even they would leave the current SA
alone and bastardize it into their own version.
