Wrong. The first point is I'm asking for advice from experienced
software developer, who deal with GPL much more time than me, if I'm
still in GPL bounds with my idea. I don't mind to pay for software or to
lawyer (she is not poor by the way, and less sarcastic :), but I
preferred start from contacting directly the author of software I'd like
to distribute. This is the second point. I'll appreciate if somebody
will push me to the right mailing list or person.

I'd like to ship ClamAV with my commercial closed-source SMTP proxy to

directly from my software: it connects to ClamAV through TCP/IP. I read
GNU license, but I'm programmer, and it's hard to get all these lawyer
things and don't miss anything. So I would like to clarify can I
distribute ClamAV along with my software, or should I ask users download
and install ClamAV themselfs?
Lemme get the point:
You are a coder and not a lawyer. You have no OSS inclination.
Which is why you are asking on an OSS coders mailing list how to resolve
your own legal issues; notably how to workaround (some would say skrew)
the GPL limitations without paying a penny to either the software
makers, nor to your poor lawyer.
Do you really expect any sort of help in here?
