The imap license has, instead of the above, ``and that the name of
the University of Washington not be used in advertising or publicity
pertaining to distribution of the software without specific, written
prior permission'', which is almost the exact opposite.
I vaguely recall that we've considered something similar non-free in
the past (something to do with academic papers being written based on
the calculations performed by the software), but I can't remember any
of the details. :-/
