OK; so now I see how you plan on making money. Thank you.

Will these products be GPL'd? For example, I have submitted patches
to Clam under the GPL. Will you be linking in Clam code with your
products or merely call out to it in a separate process?

My patches are tiny and can obviously be reverted/worked around, but
I'm wondering how Sourcefire is going to handle the Clamav code base,
given that historically the Clam developers have not required
copyright assignment.

Regards,

David.
