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? it must be gpl-compatible, you could make this kind of use with a non gpl compatible license if libclamav was lgpl (my opinion) Regards - -- Gianluigi Tiesi EDP Project Leader Netfarm S.r.l. - http://www.netfarm.it/ Free Software: http://oss.netfarm.it/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkh3RXQACgkQ3UE5cRfnO04EyACeP02dz7dgCZPgoJngt/wVu1l5 mIwAmQFAnSLh05Da/hfm+F7UOw3R8C3D =oChw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ http://lists.clamav.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/clamav-win32
