Hi everyone, Sourcefire is considering developing training courses and a certification program for ClamAV. The intent is to develop a program similar to the online Snort training and certification program http://www.vcampus.com/online/sourcefire/courses.htm, and your feedback is critical in defining a new program specifically for ClamAV.

Please provide your opinions on the three questions below. • Would you attend an online ClamAV training course? • If yes, what would you like to see covered in the course? • Are you interested in achieving ClamAV certification?

Re: [Clamav-users] Sourcefire acquires ClamAV
Ace, The license preamble for Snort 3.0 provides some pretty concrete examples of what we consider to be derivative works. While it's not an exhaustive list and I don't think an exhaustive list is possible - the preamble and Marty's public comments provide pretty clear guidance that if you're modifying and/or redistributing Snort you should be adhering to the terms of the GPL and licensing that project/product under GPL. If you'd like to contact me either on the snort-users list or off list and provide the specific scenario like David did, I'm happy to discuss it and weigh in on the specifics. If I can't answer the question I'll get the answer. I will make the same promise to anyone else who has questions about integrating Snort or ClamAV.

David, Here is the part where I tell everyone that I am not a lawyer and do not play one on TV. Which means that IMHO unfortunately does not count. I am happy to get the right person to answer your question and respond. You're right that ensuring everyone's copyright is respected is critical.

Re: [Clamav-users] Sourcefire acquires ClamAV
I'll roll up my comments on a couple of items here and again I'm happy to answer any follow up questions. Contributed code: You will of course retain all copyright ownership and the licensing rights to any code you have contributed. Commercial Licensing: Today ClamAv is used in a number of commercial solutions. ClamAV will continue to be licensed under GPL to vendors that distribute the derivative products under the GPL. The intention is to make ClamAV available under a commercial license as well. In this case our (Sourcefire's) track record with Snort speaks for itself. Sourcefire has never with held or delayed a feature in Snort from the open source community. Snort releases and Sourcefire commercial releases are in lock step. Dennis Peterson wrote: > David F.

Re: [Clamav-users] Sourcefire acquires ClamAV
From the FAQ hosted at http://www.sourcefire.com/products/clamav/ I hope this clears it up. If not I'm happy to answer any other questions. Q. Will Sourcefire change the way that ClamAV open source software is offered? A. Sourcefire has no current plans to change the way the ClamAV software is offered to end-users. Sourcefire is committed to investing in and advancing the ClamAV technology, just as we have with Snort and Snort.org. Sourcefire is absolutely committed to the continued distribution of ClamAV and the ClamAV malware database as an open source solution under the terms of the GPL. Q. When will Sourcefire begin to integrate ClamAV technology into its products? A. Sourcefire intends to offer support and training services to ClamAV users beginning in Q4 2007. We anticipate offering products based on ClamAV as a part of our Enterprise Threat Management product family in the latter half of 2008.
