I noticed that your appliance (CIPAFilter) uses a real-time antivirus client
based on the open source ClamAV engine.

Does DerbyTech contribute to the ClamWin project at all? I know one thing
that ClamWin has been talking about for a LONG time is developing an
on-access real-time scanning function...

CIPAFilter uses a lot of open source for our basic functionality, such as
firewall, routing, NAT, etc... We use Ubunto Linux for the OS.  We do use
ClamAv, but not freeswan or squid. (We did use freeswan in the past).  

However, our core features (such as the proxy, reporting, greylisting), are
implemented with proprietary non-gpl software we developed.  We also use
spamassassin and sendmail in conjunction with a proprietary milter we
developed for our mail features and to implement some extensions to SPF,
greylisting and some additional header analysis.  

There's no download link, but of course our customers can request any GPL
software from us that we distribute with our product.  In some cases third
parties can also make requests from us, but you need to be in possession of
the binaries and request a specific software package used in the product by
name. (See GPLv3 6-b).

We're very careful about licensing, none of our proprietary software is
linked with GPL binaries or libraries, and as a company we focus on the
development of our proprietary software.  Linux is a platform for us, not an
end to itself.  It does, however, make an excellent platform.

But all that being said, we also believe in being in compliance with the
spirit of the GPL.  For example, if someone wants the source for a GPL
package I've actually modified I'll be happy to provide it via email at no
charge,  and I don't much care if they're a customer or not.  But you'd have
to tell me what package you want the source for.

Welcome, the list have been quite of late.

I was looking at CIPAFiler ..  It appears that CIPAFilter uses some  
GPL'ed open source projects, e..g FreeSwan, ClamAV, squid.  -- do you  
have a link to download the source of CIPAFilter ?  I'm interested in  
learning more about it.

Regards.
