Re: Shipping ClamAV with commercial software
[In reply to]

Wrong. The first point is I'm asking for advice from experienced
software developer, who deal with GPL much more time than me, if I'm
still in GPL bounds with my idea. I don't mind to pay for software or to
lawyer (she is not poor by the way, and less sarcastic :), but I
preferred start from contacting directly the author of software I'd like
to distribute. This is the second point. I'll appreciate if somebody
will push me to the right mailing list or person.
