davmail is GPL version 2 (no later version).

It is a local gateway for Microsoft Exchange / Office365 so that a local
IMAP / SMTP client such as gnus can communicate with the server. For
this, davmail performs the OAuth2 authentication and authorization with
the Microsoft server.
davmail supports only Microsoft Exchange / Office365. Other systems
such as gmail are not supported.

I just confirmed: the Microsoft server requires that javascript is
enabled in the browser. When I disable javascript in my firefox
browser, it gives me the error message:
Microsoft
We can't sign you in
JavaScript is required to sign in. Your browser either
does not support JavaScript or it is being blocked.
Enable JavaScript in your browser or use one which supports it.
See https://login.microsoftonline.com/jsdisabled
In oauth2.el, this problem is hidden in oauth2-request-authorization,
where browse-url delegates the actual OAuth2 authentication to an
(external) browser. If oauth2.el is used with Microsoft Exchange /
Office365, it only works with a browser that supports javascript.
(I not know about the implementation of OAuth2 for other systems such as
Gmail.)
