I have a question about the GPL and
squirrelmail.  We as a company have been using
squirrelmail for some time now and it has truly
changed the way our remote users go about email.
 Thanks to all.

About a month ago I came across a university
using squirrelmail for one of their departments.
 They had renamed the software and gave no
mention of squirrelmail - yet it was obvious it
was.  My question is:  Is it a violation of the
GPL when a group renames (as in University Mail
2.0) and claims squirrelmail as their own and
gives no mention of the original source?

I've always been under the impression that one
must at least give mention of the project itself
so that others can know.  Is this true, or am I
way off base here.  To me there just seemed
something wrong with what they are doing.  Maybe
you the developers don't care however.

What does everybody think about this?  Is this
group just claiming this software as their own
by simply renaming it and seemingly taking
credit?

Any feedback welcome.

/David
