+** Announcement **
27
+
28
+Dear ClamAV users,
29
+
30
+On August 17, Sourcefire, the creators of Snort, acquired the ClamAV project.
31
+The full announcement is available here:
32
+
33
+http://www.sourcefire.com/products/clamav/
34
+
35
+We'd like to thank everyone in the ClamAV community for their dedication to
36
+the project. The acquisition by Sourcefire is a testament to the hard work of
37
+the entire ClamAV community in developing cutting edge technology that truly
38
+showcases the promise of the open source model. With the additional resources
39
+Sourcefire will provide we look forward to working with the community to
40
+continue the advancement of ClamAV.
41
+
42
+Sourcefire now owns ClamAV project and related trademarks, as well as the
43
+source code copyrights held by the five principal members of the ClamAV team.
44
+Sourcefire will also assume control of the ClamAV project including: the
45
+ClamAV.org domain, web site and web site content; and the ClamAV Sourceforge
46
+project page.
47
+
48
+What's most important is that from the end-user perspective very little will
49
+change beyond the additional resources Sourcefire will provide in our
50
+continued efforts to advance the ClamAV technology and improve our ability to
51
+interact with the open source community. The core team will continue to lead
52
+the advancement of ClamAV and the CVD as employees of Sourcefire. Both the
53
+ClamAV engine and the signature database will remain under GPL.
