Ok, I'm still somewhat unsure if your saying that the DB is covered by the GPL, BSD, some other license, or if its considered public domain? I have not been able to find info on what the openav database was licensed as.

The database is partially owned by the OpenAV team (in this case represented by Kurt Huwig) because it includes about 4500 signatures from then and by ClamAV (represented by me). > If this company is found to be in violation of the GPL, let me know, > and I'll see if I can put some heat on them.

That's a simple merge of the main and daily databases but it has removed the (Clam) markers.
