GNU JavaMail - SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4

I know some of the MAIL implementations were evaluated. However, I don't
remember GNU JavaMail as being one of them.

http://www.gnu.org/software/classpathx/javamail/

It claims to implement JavaMail 1.3 specifications and has SMTP,
IMAP4rev1, POP3, mbox and Maildir support.

It is released under GPL.

If it was already mentioned, ignore the email.

To use this code would require the GNU JavaMail to change their  
license to Apache (or something BSDish), and since GNU is the backer  
of the *GPL licenses, I doubt they would change it.  Just like an  
Apache project would never change to a GPL license.

Kinda sucks to have these walls in the open source world, but such is  
life.
