Clam-AV's "quite a few" is, however, still well short of even all the "in the wild" viruses on the WildList which, from a subsequent post to the one your response is to, appears to be Richard's ammended target.
... They build their vira db on reports from their user community. May be you can use their a-v database.
And maybe he can't for licensing reasons. I didn't look too hard, but I could not find a statement suggesting the license conditions that cover the Clam-AV "Virus DB" detection data are any different from those covering the rest of the project. Presumably that means they are covered by the GPL as part of the code of the project as a whole. If so, I believe Richard's project would also have to be GPL-licensed for him to use the Clam-AV data. -- Nick FitzGerald Computer Virus Consulting Ltd.
