Mike, would you care to comment on these remarks from Wayne Jackson,
CEO of Sourcefire?

After a clean-up of the project's code base, Sourcefire will likely
create a new license for third party providers of the technology
during the first quarter of 2008.

While Sourcefire has promised to continue to distribute versions of
ClamAv software that meet the parameters of the open source general
product license (GPL), the OEM licensing model will not necessarily
adhere to all elements of the GPL, Jackson said. The arrangement fits
the same model Sourcefire has pursued with Snort.
