Someone just wrote: "Avast! is not open source..... If it's not open source, our clients don't want it and we don't consider it..." Not true. Being a retired software engineer who has designed both commercial and open source code, I can state with authority that users only care about two things: 1) DOES IT WORK, and 2) HOW MUCH WILL IT COST ME. Most users are more than wiling to pay for software that really works. It is only the open source coders who believe in the "open source" religion: users could not care less how software is created. Many open source coders have fallen victim to the cop-out that since they are "sacrificing" and working for free, users should have to put up with their crappy code. If you are a coder and are among those who feel that way, you need to spend some time working on commercial software and interfacing with real users: it can be a brutal awakening. Users are just not interested in your open source religion! BTW: I am not AT ALL commenting on the quality of Clamwin--I am simply addressing a general statement made by Joshua.
