If QMail was actively maintained the license issues would be
exactly the same as for any other mailer. The problems come
from the fact that the mailer is abandonware and the license
prohibits any other party taking it on.

I would not waste my time maintaining QMail, I would replace 
it wholesale or use one of the many other fine mail systems
out there.
