No, it really should be MIT licensed ("as per qpsmtpd") to go in the distribution.
There are a few exceptions (only your plugins at a cursory glance), but those are mistakes. :-)
I don't have an issue with my qpsmtpd plugins being changed to state:
=head1 AUTHOR
Copyright 2005 Gordon Rowell <gordonr@gormand.com.au>
This software is free software and may be distributed under the same
terms as qpsmtpd itself.
Though as a distro maintainer, we do have a sizeable issue with license proliferation. It really is a bit of a nightmare when two licenses are almost, but not completely, the same.
Thanks,
Gordon
