Many people accept that "open source" is a term with a specific
meaning, defined here:

http://www.opensource.org/osd.html

My understanding is that qmail doesn't follow restriction #3, "Derived
Works".

If you use "open source" in some unspecific way, well, then it can
mean whatever you want.  IMO it is better to use the term in its
specific sense, and use a different term for things that are less
open.
