The library seems to cover _all_ operations that use the database in
some way (loading, pattern matching, scanning of zip files,...). We
can't forbid people to rewrite libclamav from a scratch and license it
under LGPL (which allows linking with closed apps), but well - that
would require a lot of hard work. As long as the mentioned heuristic
scanning is completely independent from the database it's not affected
by the GPL license.
