Agreed. So we, as a community, should make sure that no company goes around shutting down services left and right, claiming it is their right to do so. Basically, public outcry and (threat of) legal action are the only viable alternatives against that. On a side note, I wonder if this road would have been taken if sourcefire did not acquire clamav some time ago. It would be nice to know how this decision was taken, its circumstances etc. -- Eray _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
