The thing I can't get over is the sense of entitlement coming out of  
some of the emails to this list for a service provided at no cost that  
is now being reasonably restricted because of impact on the people  
providing it *at no charge*, which if not resolved could potentially  
remove the ability for *any* of us to use it.

Go figure... Even more bizarre is people trying to create and share  
workarounds. Ah well...

 From my POV Clamav has provided me with a great (free) tool for many  
years at only the cost of my time to learn it, and with a great and  
supportive community. If it were to move to a model wherein there was  
reasonable contribution I'd sign up for it.

Purely selfishly :) perhaps a model appropriately structured for home  
users like me (with < 10 users) to get updates with more for corporate  
/ govt users. :-D
