Charging heaps of money is allowed. However, they do need to comply with the terms of the Perl Artistic License *or* the GPL (one or the other, they can't pick and choose terms from both licenses). I should note that *if* there was a license violation, it's not your problem and you would have no legal cause to take action against mailshield. Only the copyright holders, myself included, can do that. Actually, you should leave checking into this sort of thing to the copyright holders in general, since they may have made separate arrangements with the company. (I haven't done so, but it's possible.) I do appreciate finding out when additional companies start deploying products based on SpamAssassin, though. Thanks.
