The GPL is but one of many Open Source licenses.

How is this different from the BSD license (which is OSI approved),
except for the restriction that UW is the only one allowed to take your
distributed change and use it under another license?  With the BSD
license, _anyone_ can take your distributed change and turn it into
closed-source software.

See above.  It has much more in common with the BSD license, except that
only UW can use your change under a different license (Microsoft can and
has used code under the BSD license in their closed-source software).

I do not see anything in the UW IMAP license that would exclude it from
Fedora.  The UW IMAP license is _different_ from the Pine license that
was mentioned earlier that is not compatible with the Fedora Project.
