There is a difference between what you are calling the "GPL" sigs (3464 and below) and "Community" (our old GPL 
community ruleset that was in the 100,000,000 range).

Both of those sid ranges are still maintained by us, and we frequently update the 3464 and below sigs.  Updating 
detection, adding references, adding keywords to be able to use the newest functionality.  That's why the objection was 
made to move your copy of our sigs up to a different range to eliminate conflict.
