There are many versions, licenses, depending on where you get it, but I think it came from BSD, which can be had free to resell, unlike GNU, which is free to give away. You might look into learning esmtp and writing your own bytes to the mail server socket. Each layer, while different, just simplifies and restricts things a little.

I wonder if Sendmail has a clause in its license that royalties should be paid if used in a business environment...
None that I know of. You paid the licence when you paid the Operating System licence.

It always helps if you post what Operating System and version you are running.
I have no problem with the raw sendmail interface, but it have been known to use the outer fringes of the unix mailx command to deal with substantial CC and BCC lists. Though the manual may be hard to follow, the actual syntax of the command line and the mailing list files is quite simple.
