As I recall, the specs for Blue Wave were made public.  So someone could start
from scratch.  But QWK basically is "the standard" even though Blue Wave was
much better.  So getting a QWK door for a BBS is easy.

And while MultiMail is really nice (I use it), it doesn't have all the features
that Blue Wave had for QWK.  Maybe when I get some time, I can add those
features.  That's going to be a long time, though.
