All joking aside, my logic button pushing rubbish included... I still don't understand how you can qualify the modifications to the license as a subversive way to be able to "hi-jack" the code base and close it... and so as Marty said... we'll have to agree to disagree...

Wrong again! "by your logic" -- if you thought that was the logic in my posts, then this provides much more insight into the lack of understanding out there. The content on Aanval is copyright, the source for Drupal and contributed works are copyright their respective owners and adheres to the license it was released under. I would have thought this type of knowledge is just quite common. Silly, silly, silly.

I mean, it's the same logic... so I'm just sayin is all... kthx On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 4:25 PM, Loyal A Moses <loyalmoses () mac com> wrote:Was that sarcasm?

Pieter On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 11:06 PM, Loyal A Moses <loyalmoses () mac com> wrote:Marty, Do you mean open source as in GPL or equivalent or as in we can all read the source? A quote from you: "We're also saying that people who want to contribute code to the project do so with the knowledge that we're going to consider the code as assigned to Sourcefire unless other arrangements are made." That doesn't sound so "open source" to me and more like a charade. And another quote in the same posting by you: "Given that we need to be able to offer Snort under an alternative license for commercial integrators who are integrating Snort and don't want to adhere to the GPL it's essential that we retain the right to relicense the totality of the codebase." Now, there is the real reason. Just be direct and communicate that version 3 will not be GPL and Sourcefire will now retain all rights. Unless you plan on having two source branches with zero intellectual-property cross over and licensed independently. I am not hostile towards the concept. The concept is business and it is what it is. Loyal. On Apr 14, 2009, at 1:40 PM, Martin Roesch wrote:Snort 3.0 is open source.

One that is maintained well (as Shawn said). Snort is an open source program, I don't see harm in discussion on Snort's own mailing lists do you? J On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 3:35 PM, Loyal A Moses <loyalmoses () mac com> wrote:Is Sourcefire limited on development skill or man power? It makes no sense at all to remove one of the most common facilities in use by snort users because it is "too complex". In the end, you'll do what you are going to do regardless of the community -- we've seen it before. But don't use "complexity" and "bugs" as the excuse. Sourcefire is a publicly traded company -- Is it smart to be taking votes on product development from a mailing list? I wouldn't think so. Loyal.

Make one well supported, tested, unified method designed for best performance and while doing so it improves the supportability and maintainability of the code base. On Tue, Apr 14, 2009 at 2:39 PM, Loyal A Moses <loyalmoses () mac comwrote:My vote is to provide as many output options as possible, to help keep snort used as a tool. The argument of code complexity being a good reason to remove output facilities is only valid if the code is written poorly and not modular. This wheel doesn't need re-invented and this conversation is kind of silly, unless there is ulterior motives for actually wanting to remove this support.
