sorry if that was quick; I left the discussion for 24-36 hours, but possibly
should have left it for longer for more comments.  

However it's arguable as to what difference that would have made, since we were
already in a state that required that BIS notification, and have been for
several *years* -- we just hadn't realised it.  The BIS notification refers to
already-published, existing code as well as the current stuff.

unfortunately spamc/spamd is distributed and developed as part of one overall
"package" -- Apache SpamAssassin.  

There is indeed a way back -- if we were to split off spamc/spamd, or a new
sslspamc/sslspamd as a separate subproject, with a separate distribution in
future, that'd do it.  It's not like a "viral" license.  There'd just be a new
table row on http://www.apache.org/licenses/exports/ for that new version and
future versions, with the new status.

Is it necessary/worth it?
