- Why is GPL the only way to protect the Zimbra source code? LGPLv3 (and a few others) would surely also do?
- While some of the (current) code is under YPL, previous releases (which are available from sourceforge) contain the code under the Zimbra Public License 1.2, Apache License, or the MPL1.1, which all allow re-distribution of the original code and modifications (which the YPL does not). So, it is possible to fork Zimbra, just not from a release newer than October 2007.

Only the open source version of Zimbra which is missing some functionality. What you really want, if you use it in a corporate environment, is their non-free version. This is a legitimate worry in light of the recent announcement.
