clarification of license and allowed usage of all plugins #96

Closed core-code closed 4 years ago

[...] anyone can use at any scale from an independent researcher to a fortune [...]

this sounds all very good, but looking at the plugin list ( https://github.com/maliceio/plugins ), it seems you are mainly re-using existing commercial AV products to do the actual scanning.

i can't imagine that its possible to use any of those plugins in any setting without paying for those products. even when paying for those products, i can't imagine you can legally use any product you build on top of them in a commercial setting - AFAIK their license forbids this.

could you clarify with which plugins fulfil the original promise of 'malice', i.e. that it can be used for any purpose (even commercial) is actually true?
