Hi Jon,

Thanks for the answer.

What I'm more concerned with is about the virus definitions. Someone "on 
the other side" that provides virus definitions updates 24/7.

Even if RAV were to be GPLed, looks like nobody would be providing the 
updated definitions.

GPL sounds good, if updates are good. I gotta check Clam and see what is 
this.



Salut,
