Yeah... but since the copyright holder is Sendmail, Inc on those files,
we can assume that the Sendmail License is GPL compatible here (I'm also
going to assume that any changes made by the The OpenDKIM Project to
files originally under the Sendmail License are done under the BSD with
advertising license).
That's true. OpenDKIM is a fork of a project called dkim-milter which is
orphaned at the moment and was developed by employees of Sendmail Inc.
and therefore shouldn't be a license problem. Only the changes made to
the forked project are licensed as BSD-with-advertisement.
If I were you, I would ask the OpenDKIM project if they would be
willing
to drop the advertising clause.
I already sent an email to the project maintainer and hope to hear from
him soon.
