You go here:
http://www.openmail.com/cyc/om/00/showfile.cgi?200-0305
look near the bottom of the page to download the Linux version.

It says there "Only available on RedHat 7.0. Free, fully-functional,
unsupported evaluation software download" - The initial limit is 6 months,
however, on the next page, beside the entry box for email address is the
statement:
	"This is the address we will use to contact you regarding
	the free license key for up to 50 users that will enable
	you to continue using this fully-functional, unsupported
	software beyond the 6-month evaluation period."

So, ergo, under 50 clients, free HP OpenMail server on RedHat 7.

I dug through the licensing terms, and commercial use is even kosher.
