I think there's a point that it's not clear yet. We are talking about
our case. We have developed a firewall called bastion-firewall and we 
distribute it as GPL, there's no commercial version. This firewall
has an addon that integrates it with snort-inline, so we were 
distributing the *untouched* snort-inline package and snort rules
with the firewall in a separate package.

With the new license. Can we distribute the new rules as they are
released or we have to wait until the next version of snort
is released? We don't mind doing one thing or the other, or even
just offer the integration so the end user can download and use
your rules. We just want to be sure we are doing things right.
Which of this options do you find more correct?

Thanks and regards.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.
