I just noticed that UW has posted an imap-2004 release candidate 1 which
now includes the IPv6 support so this makes things moot.

In the copyright notice I see:

"This University of Washington Distribution (code and documentation) is
made available to the open source community as a public service by the
University of Washington.  Contact the University of Washington at
imap-license at cac.washington.edu for information on other licensing
arrangements (e.g. for use in proprietary applications).

Under this license, this Distribution may be modified and the original
version and modified versions may be copied, distributed, publicly
displayed and performed provided that the following conditions are
met:

..."

and various typical accountability/liability conditions follow.

To me the intent seems that it's open source and modification and
redistribution is allowed.

Do you know which specific clause or wording in the copyright some lawyers
might take issue with?
