Do you think there's an argument for saying BitDefender is to all intents
and purposes commercial because the free Linux Edition uses the same virus
database as their commercial products?

I'd like to express my thanks to the list at having allowed me to save a
few hundred US dollars by not renewing my F-Prot licence!

Now, had F-Prot maintained their original licensing policy of per server
licensing then I probably would have simply renewed without looking at
alternatives.  They do a per server product for file servers but they make
it very clear on their purchasing page that on mail servers you must buy
their per user product.
