Jules, as I replied in a previous email thread, Im working with Novell
legal team to modify the license to either GPLV2 or later or
dual-license Evolution/EDS under GPLv2 and GPLv3. I dont have yet
received the final nod. But the mapi providers/plugins are developed
under GPLv3 which can be a issue now, but may not be after the license
change.
