We only do this with rules that people give us permission to use.
We can't take third-party rules without their developers' permission; on
top of this, many of the rulesets don't use a compatible license, or the
developers don't want them in SpamAssassin.

Thanks for that informative answer.  So the right way to get this  
fixed is to ask the rule developer to provide them with a compatible  
(or no) license?  In bugzilla or where do you want them?
