   Hi Randy, Im going to reply this just once. For sure, your comments 
show how well have you dig into the available information. I dont want 
to feed such a troll and start a flame war, thus dont expect to see 
further replies on this.

   At least you could have guessed this one right as they are not even 
Dell's

   Of course is not. And?

    Have you just taken a few minutes from your time to look at the info?

   We have made public and clear we were taking existing open source 
software and glue it toguether (Snort, Snorby, Chef, pf_ring, CentOS, 
...). We also have made it public and clear we developed our own set of 
features and capabilities (yes, I'm guilty, under funding from a client) 
and, oh my, made them available for free to the community (please spank 
me for this). We had made it public that we funded Luca Deri to do some 
very specific job on pf_ring and wooow we will further do so this year.

   Im sure you feel guilty for grabbing for free the work done by our 
company funded by other company. Im sure you feel guilty we convinced 
such client to make this work public, and not keep it for itself. Im 
sure you feel guilty to discover we did such a good job that they 
decided to further fund it for another year and again, you will be able 
to grab it for free.

   Mmm, maybe because there are original pieces done by us? Maybe 
because they like our logo? Maybe because we have more sun here in Seville?
