FWIW, Ultrix shipped with MH 6.7.1, and their GUI mail reader (dxMail)
is layered on top of it.  There's certainly no "mh.tar.Z" file lying
around with source in the Ultrix distribution.  If MH were GPL'd, there
would have to have been one somewhere.  I also don't know if this would
be classed as "monetary profit"...

I'll not enter the argument of BSD vs. GPL licencing though :-)
