Regardless of what ClamAV is licensed as, is the database being published under the GPL as well? Is it public domain?
We've run into very similar type questions with the AHBL stuff - what are we going to publish our database information as? Our standard license is either GPL or BSD. Now, there is a difference between the AHBL and the ClamAV database - the AHBL database was pretty much completely constructed by me, and as I own the SOSDG/AHBL, I also own the database, so I can decide alone, or delegate that decision to someone else in my group, on what it will be released as.
However, there is alot more people working on ClamAV and its database
then just one group - so who technically owns the ClamAV virus
database?
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).
What about replacing Kurt's virus signatures by your own and release virus database under licence you like?
This will make situation clear.
