My question is: If I create a program that can *optionally* use libclamav, must that program be GPL-licensed as well? For instance, let's assume my program is called "foo", which *optionally* uses the "libclamav" library. libclamav uses the GPLv2 license. If libclamav does not exist in the same directory of "foo", then "foo" runs using its internal mechanism. But if libclamav does exist in the same directory as "foo", "foo" will use libclamav to enhance its internal mechanism. This usage of libclamav, however is optional; the user must explicitly enable it through "foo" 's options dialog box. So, to reiterate my question: Must "foo" be GPL-licensed as well? Thank you for your information. -- Pandu E Poluan My website: http://pandu.poluan.info/ _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-win32
