Adding the hard-coded UNOFFICIAL reduces some liability from the Clamav

Which is why it shouldn't be changed in the underlying libclamav.
That! And lots of daily annoyances with FP reports too.
Which is why the suffix won't go away
Agree with you there.
nor an option will be available to get rid of it.
At least not from the ClamAV Team.
Lets all say WONTFIX. :-)
Seriously, quit trying to tell me what I can and can't do with your open
source software.
I think they've only said what they won't do, and I'm 100% certain it comes from
SourceFire legal. I'd do the same thing. It is only annoying to me because I'd
built a lot of back end reporting tools and management did not seeing anything
to do with "UNOFFICIAL". The product is already on the suspect list simply for
being open source which too many managers still believe is equivalent to
unsupported. And when you tell them they can buy support, what do you suppose
the response is? Buy support for an open source product? Are you crazy?
Guys - build and sell a commercial version like Sendmail does. You won't make
any money but you'll earn street creds in the corner office.
