'From: "Vipul Ved Prakash" <vipul () cloudmark ! com>

Folks,

I am pleased to announce that with the release of razor-agents
2.81[1] a new service policy has been introduced, that makes the
use of Razor2 service completely open and free. A license
introduced in 2003 restricted usage by third party integrators,
but the new license unencumbers all usage, commercial or
otherwise.

My company, Cloudmark, hosts and manages the backend
infrastructure that Razor2 agents use for reporting spam and
checking fingerprints. Cloudmark retains the right to deny
service to anyone abusing the backend, but will not, under
normal circumstances, restrict usage in any way.

Share and Enjoy!

I haven't looked into this in detail yet, mind you, but it sounds
promising.

fyi, I sent a mail to Vipul asking if the Cloudmark website had an updated policy.  The only one I could find 
is http://cloudmark.com/policies/razor/ which is the old policy (not fully free usage).

I got a response from Vipul, who pointed me at the license in the new 2.81 tarball.  They're also in the 
process of upgrading the website with the new version.

In short, I'm +1 on enabling by default again. :)


The new version:

Razor2 agents connect to the Cloudmark Collaborative Security
Network to report spam and check for fingerprints. Cloudmark
provides free and open access to the CCSN but reserves the right
to deny access to anyone.
