Since clamav itself shows no signs of vanishing, this frontend going away might add a bit to the friction some people experience in using it, but the software itself wasn't that noteworthy. The treatment of the developer, though, was just wrong.

    the software itself wasn’t that noteworthy

    I always find the value of working software made by volunteers. That's always noteworthy, imo. I'm a software engineer. It's not like I have that many completed projects that have people using them. It's incredibly hard to make software that people want to use, and it's incredibly unfortunate to lose someone who wants to do that unthanked work. This guy is still catching strays when he's actually doing shit for people.
