SV: Truth is stranger than fiction ... Bill Gates was right

Hey Feher,

Mr. William H. Gates III, the legendary co-founder of
Microsoft Corp.  has recently talked about the viral nature
of the GPL, which spreads open source software like a flu.

Now it has been confirmed that he was right all the time!
The free ClamAV software already detects the GNU Public
Licence file as a virus!

Oh yes, I got myself a good laugh!

This revelation clearly shows how and why Mr. Gates came to
be the richest man on Earth: he has incredible foresight and
can tell the signs of time well in advance.

Might be a new heuristic feature or a super advanced sandbox function that
caugh this nasty text file!

I tried uploading this malware to http://www.virustotal.com but still only
ClamAV detects it ;-)

Regards
Peter Kruse
