Barracuda Networks includes ClamAV in some of its enterprise solutions. Trend Micro has been trying to get Barracuda to either pay license royalties for including ClamAV or stop using ClamAV in its products. Apparently, McAfee, Symantec and Fortinet have all settled with Trend Micro already, although the details are not public. The patent is described as follows: Groklaw is assisting Barracuda with the search for prior art.

From the man pages: whereis locates the binary, source, and manual page files for a command. which returns the pathnames of the files which would be executed in the current environment. So - where is this file? but which file would be executed? :)
