Firstly, apologies for failing to remove my spam tags ([0.0]) in some e-mails. I know it messes up threading. I try to remember. Sorry.

No money, and our choices are either free software or *none*. The ClamAV developers (and indeed many other AV vendors) recognize the need to address this problem, and so they work very hard and well to make sure that free quality virus protection is available to ALL. And we thank them for it. > .... therefore they have no discernible right to demand that the > developer of the product they are using change it to suit their own > personal likes. Agreed. But the only 'demanding' I see going on here is by the lucky 'rich', who are (or have) full time amply funded SA's. Just because *they* can *afford* to do things a certain way (which most would agree is the 'ideal' solution), they insist that the rest of us "must not" make our requests and suggestions for methods of operation and flexibility that address *our* needs. The people who think the financially disadvantaged "deserve" to suffer in silence are the ones who are "demanding". Those of us who actually want/need certain features have basically brought it to the 'attention' of those who *want* to know how they are serving the broader community that ClamAV as developed to serve. We only 'demand' the right to have our suggestions heard in their proper context, and not held up against the idealistic standards of the lucky few. Thanks. - C _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/support/ml
