qmail released into the public domain

Parent article: qmail released into the public domain

Did he really released "and a number of other packages" ? Or just said that he will do that in
future?

Looks like other tools needed for qmail (daemontools, ucspi-tcp) are not yet rereleased as
public domain.

daemon-utils and ucspi-tcp are not strictly necessary to run qmail.  I find their equivalents
xinetd and tcp_wrappers superior and I've been using qmail with them for several years.
