Hi Marc,
The smartest thing for us to do is start looking for an alternative.
what kind of attitude is this? I think we have to wait what happens, I can not imagine that they will stop snort as a GPL program. Although, if they do so than the old releases are still there and GPLed. This is something even Checkpoint can not change. With the actual sources one can start a fork and I guess there are enough smart coders out there to continue the project on an open source basis. But before this will happen we should wait what happens next and decide then. What may happen (and I think this already happened with sourcefire before) is that the open source version may be a little bit older than the one sold with checkpoint hardware. So simply relax and watch the future of snort...
