That's the red flag right there.  This clause makes UW-IMAP's license 
incompatible with the GPL.

The University of Washington reserves the right to acquire any changes 
you've made to their software, and use it for their own purposes and release 
it under other licenses.

This has more in common with Microsoft's Shared Source license, rather than 
any OSI-approved license.  The only substantive difference is that you do 
not have to pay $100,000 to the University of Washington in order to obtain 
the source code.
