There is only one aditional condition, you may NOT use this module for SPAMing! NEVER! (see http://spam.abuse.net/ for definition)

The exception ›you are not allowed to use the module for SPAM‹ is the cause for Debian Bug568652[0]. Which lead to a package movement from main debian distribution to non-free package distribution. And in consequence this leads to lesser usage by debian based distribution users. If that is what you want, ok. But in the end this is useless statement. Spammers don't care about licenses. And if the unlikely will happen, that one spammer got caught, You'll not notice. And you will not sue him for breaking the license.

If you wanted to be humorous you cut your own flesh with that statement. Please support open source and free software and chose a one of the well known and verified licences.

Please remove that statement from copyright notice in any file.
