[License-review] Sendmail License -- Legacy Approval Submission

[Pamela Chestek]

The Trusted Domain Project links differ from the language you submitted. 
They say "Redistributions are accompanied by a copy of the modified 
Source Code */(on an acceptable machine-readable medium)/* or by an 
irrevocable offer to provide a copy of the modified Source Code */(on an 
acceptable machine-readable medium)/* ..." The highlighted language is 
not in the version you submitted. This one also doesn't uppercase "open 
source software" as the others seem to. This one says "$Revision: 1.1 $ 
$Date: 2009/07/16 18:43:18 $?" I don't know if there are more 
differences than that; I just caught those differences and stopped there 
to ask about it.

Are you submitting the text you included in the email (which I'm taking 
is the SPDX version) or the version that I understand you're interested 
in, from the Trusted Domain Project, at
https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenARC
https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenDKIM
https://github.com/trusteddomainproject/OpenDMARC?

I don't know if there are any differences that matter at the end of the 
day, but we need to be clear on exactly what language we have approved. 
If the one that matters to you is used by Trusted Domain Project, then 
it's best if that's the license language that we review.
