AFAIK does the eudora license deny us to ship qpop 3.x. So, we have two options: 1) patch it 2) drop it.

I can't follow your argument. My interpretation of License.txt in the qpopper 3.0.2 package is that the right to redistribute qpopper unchanged as well as in modified form is granted. AFAIR it says: "user must agree to license prior to installation", which would be only possible with an interactive package install which is a general no-no.

We patched 2.53, so all known bugs were fixed. You could use _our_ 2.53 update or install qpop 3.x from eudora.

So wouldn't it be smart to mark the thin as change/patched somehow, like 2.53p1 ?

hm, usually we increment the release number (???) behind the version number.
