First of all - we are permitted - we just have to follow the rules. As a second note: Every Software developer is free to choose the license his work is distributed under. And if we want people to respect our license, we have to respect other licenses as well. And as a third thing - the RARLab developers are no idiots - they made a very complex and cool piece of software and the contact with them was extremely helpful and happened in a very polite way. Please keep in mind - freedom also means to let other be free to have a different opinion. Please don't be a fanatic - there are already enough of them out there. -- Best regards, Christoph _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-devel.html Please submit your patches to our Bugzilla: http://bugs.clamav.net
