I don't want to stay quiet anymore though :) I see people posting as systems administrators who are acting more like consultants in disguise. Fairly consistently they're the ones saying they've been wronged, being abusive, threatening physical harm, and appear to have no love or passion for their job past how much liability they've accumulated by taking on (paid) agreements that they weren't able to service, and how quickly they can deflect the blame somewhere else.
I don't know Simon, though I can't help but see his attitude and comments as a reflection of some other consultants / systems administrators whom I intensely dislike. If it's any consolation though, some of the other posters have been worse, to the point of being almost comical. As someone who has worked with about a hundred business owners, I've never encountered a crisis situation I could not defuse by explaining what happened and getting to work on fixing it, sometimes with and sometimes without payment. I do it because I love the work and I love the businesses I work for and they know it. Everything is great. And I can see a lot of people here have likeminded work ethics and you are the ones supporting ClamAV. I applaud you. Giampaolo, you're one of us. You may have a dissenting opinion, but otherwise you're level headed and logical and seem to have some passion for your job. So, you're cool in my book. Anyway I don't think any of the complainers are going to be donating to the ClamAV project any time soon. And I don't think end-users should necessarily feel the need to donate. But for those consultants who are successfully making money off of open source products, might I suggest you consider making some donations back to the software developers whose work you rely on? Cheers everyone. This will all blow over soon.
