SPEC §2.4: allow factual comparisons, never with Stalwart
The last bullet forbade comparison of any kind. Public material may now
compare inbuxa with the hosted suites organizations choose between and
with other self-hosted mail stacks, when the comparison is factual,
dated, names no price and says when the other choice is better.
Stalwart is still never compared: no editions, no pricing, no
commentary on Stalwart Labs or other forks.
The lineage is now told in the past tense ("started as a fork of
Stalwart"), once, with the clean-room provenance on one documentation
page that everything else links to.
