And the bullshit about Snort being closed is just that... bullshit.I never made that statement and my gut feeling is that the Snort engine will be open source for a long time... maybe even forever.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that *you* said it. Someone else replied to this threat with that notion and I just didn't feel like sending another email.
It's amazing how Nessus and SourceFire [to a certain degree] (I'm talking about the Snort rules here) are complaining about how unfair it is that somebody just takes their work and does whatever they want with it... including repackaging and selling it. Well, this is what GPL is all about!
uhm... no. These guys have other complaints. It's not the fact that people are using GPL'ed code to make money. Feel free to ask these guys directly if you really want to know why they did things the way they did. -Frank
