Contributed code: You will of course retain all copyright ownership and the licensing rights to any code you have contributed. Commercial Licensing: Today ClamAv is used in a number of commercial solutions. ClamAV will continue to be licensed under GPL to vendors that distribute the derivative products under the GPL. The intention is to make ClamAV available under a commercial license as well. In this case our (Sourcefire's) track record with Snort speaks for itself. Sourcefire has never with held or delayed a feature in Snort from the open source community. Snort releases and Sourcefire commercial releases are in lock step. Dennis Peterson wrote: > David F.
