Not convinced by this. I've no objection if people build commercial email client programs on top of SMTP, say, or commercial web browsers. Doesn't affect the underlying protocol.

Unlike code, there is no license enforcement for protocols.

How do enforce open source software on clients and other relays? There is no watertight defense against spoofing.

you could sue closed software that defaults to using your open source only relay, but if its user configurable there is no hope
