Have you actually read the IBM Secure Mailer license?

The license demands that you stop using the IBM Secure Mailer upon IBM's
request. You are explicitly required to destroy every copy you possess
of the IBM Secure Mailer.

The license also gives IBM special rights over all enhancements to the
IBM Secure Mailer. If you distribute an IBM Secure Mailer add-on, for
example, then IBM can turn your add-on into an IBM commercial product
without your permission.

The license also prohibits all use of ``the name "IBM" or any other IBM
trademark without the prior written consent of IBM.'' Apparently you
aren't even allowed to criticize the IBM Secure Mailer without IBM's
permission.

And that's supposed to be free software?
