Hi, As stated by the GPL, you should provide source code for a GPL executable or library. Could you provide me source code for the database please ? Have a look at the GPL faq: Can I use the GPL for something other than software? http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCGPLOtherThanSoftware In what cases is the output of a GPL program covered by the GPL too? http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCWhatCaseIsOutputGPL And here an answer in the faq you should consider for the problem of the database and is source code. I want to distribute an extended version of a GPL-covered program in binary form. Is it enough to distribute the source for the original version? http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCDistributeExtendedBinary I don't want to still your job and I will add link to clam project home page in my About window and web site. The reason why I don't want UScanIT being GPL is because I use clam database and also some heuristic test to decide is a suspect file is a virus or not. This would help virus writter if they know how to be "transparent" to this heuristic engine. They can reverse compilation but it'll be harder for them.
