I can also say that they don't want to compete against commercial AV vendors as I have read here 2^32 times that we should use not _only_ clamav, but a list of AVs to improve the chances to catch malware.
Best practice for security always involves defence in depth. Basing all your protection on a single AV product, given that *none* of them are 100% effective, would be short sighted (and particularly given the current spate of attacks on AV products).
I believe this is what the commercial anti-virus company, MessageLabs, does. When I spoke to them a few years ago, they had licenses for five anti-virus products. Messages were fed through the three they considered the best.
You're saying a commercial AV vendor is using competitor's AV products in addition to their own to protect their systems?
