Kroupware ain't the name of the product. It's the name of the project. The name of the product is Kolab (which sounds way more decent).

Kroupware Komplete

Yes, it's complete.
It uses LDAP for company-wide addressbooks. It offers services for distributing free-busy lists. It can be used offline through disconnected IMAP. It allows for sharing folders (containing mail, calendars, contacts, whatever) between people. It has normal POP3 and SMTP support. Everything is configurable through the webinterface, in which you can set vacation messages as well. HOWTO's are available for integrating SpamAssasin and Amavis (anti-virus) with Kolab. You can install SquirrelMail on the server to allow webbased access to your mail.
...this is still news. It just shows that if such a contract is news, MS still got a long way to go before getting fully accepted.

True, but the required license is only for *Outlook clients*. You're perfectly able to use fully functional KDE clients free of any charge. If you're having Windows/Office clients, $50 for a Bynari plugin won't matter much, especially compared to the prices of Exchange.
By the way, you _do_ receive support from Bynari when using their client, but (as is totally logical) it will be just for the client and not for the server.
If there was some employee who released the source without authorization, he is the responsibility of Nullsoft. What's done is done. Also every source file in the packages contains GPL notices. This at least creates the impression they always developed it as GPL.

It's not l33t haxoring, it's childish and immature vandalism, plain and simple.
Call it terrorism. More people will understand you.
