Tomasz, Thanks for the clarification. I am just so used to these things changing based on the quantity of beans the acquiring company needs to stay afloat. And not that I am against anyone making a buck. We all need to pay the bills. I would just hate to see another great open source project get squeezed for a few bucks. I also hope you guys made some money on the deal or will at least in the future base don the work you will be doing for them. thanks again for a great tool.

That is the fundamental fact of the universe we inhabit, and it is very good for us to understand that. -Carl Sagan, astronomer and writer (1934-1996) _______________________________________________ Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: visit http://wiki.clamav.net http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-users.html
