I keep banging because I'm extremely careful about licensing stuff, and ALWAYS remember somewhere in the back of my mind what different product are licensed after.

Apologies, you're right I just checked back through my source tarballs. V. Interesting! I assume this was changed quietly with 4.5.8, how very not public spirited.

Actually, it's ZEUL, and I personally helped draft it.
I strongly suggest you read it and get your facts straight. It may not be OSI approved, but it grants you many many rights with very few restrictions (Zimbra logo being present).

That's only for binary distributions and irrelevent to these dicussions.
Generally of course we would all love Zimbra to be GPL but in reality it's highly unlikely to ever happen, at least in the near future. I was terribly pessimistic after the Yahoo purchase but really things have just got better and better. Zimbra is essentially a commercial product that we are allowed limited access to the source. As long as it stays that way I guess we should all be happy. It would be nice to know if there are any clauses in the Yahoo purchase that allow future freedom but I guess it's unlikely that a) they exist or b) the public would be told.
