Thats the better idea, although idealogically I'm all for open source I have no intention of releasing the code that build the database. That is for purely practical reasons, most of it works by crawling the anti-virus vendors sites - as such if lots of people started to run it there would be significant load on their sites, which not only inconsiderate of us but also could lead to them blacklisting our IP's and/or changing their page format to make it much harder to parse. I'm certainly willing to open the front end, but I need to find out how easy it is to mirror a mysql database, I suppose I could script something that writes incrementals out to some web space. But it all needs more work first... I'm away for a few days, maybe I'll find time next week.
