Hello,
I know clamav is released under GPL license, and third-party commercial app
shouldn’t link libclamav.
However I find there is one anti-virus app link libclamav directly and is
published on Mac app store.
This app is
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bitmedic-antivirus-malware/id1001746820?mt=12
Below is otool result of BitMedic binary
otool -L BitMedic
BitMedic:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ServiceManagement.framework/Versions/A/ServiceManagement

/System/Library/Frameworks/SystemConfiguration.framework/Versions/A/SystemConfiguration
(compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 699.1.5)
I want to know if the way used by Bitmedic is legal and other developers can
also use clamav directly in their commercial app.
Best Regards,
Patric
