Bullshit, Marty Needs ALOCHOL!!!!!!!!!!! Prepare to pay the Marty Liquor tax: You can either pay when you download the source, or hand deliver cases of beer, and whiskey to Sourcefire WHQ. There, Hater will relieve you of your alcohol, and punch you in the face. Shirkdog

But I also know Marty personally, and frankly, you're wrong. The changes to the licensing of signatures was done to prevent third party apps from using the rules without compensating Sourcefire, a perfectly reasonable thing to do. After all, those third party apps (and appliances) and making money off Marty's (and all his many talented employees') work. The least they can do is pay Marty for making what's under their hood much better than it otherwise would be. Marty has said that snort will always be open source. I believe him. --On Tuesday, April 14, 2009 15:36:29 -0500 Loyal A Moses <loyalmoses () mac com> wrote:As I just said in an earlier mailing list response, it is open source until version 3. This is my original line of comments on the NEW direction Sourcefire was taking. http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/snort/2007-07/0047.html The product itself is not at all the debate. Snort as a product is great, and I believe that Marty has done an excellent job developing the majority of what is quite obviously the worlds most widely used intrusion detection system. The argument on direction is one of open source vs. commercially owned. We've seen this a dozen or more times over. A little story... Jack is an open source buff who believes in free software for the world, so he builds and releases it GPL or equivalent. Then one day, he needs to feed his family from his open source fame, but doesn't have the rights to the software as he wants, because it was released open source and there are hundreds of contributors to the success of the application. So a simple little plan is hatched to slowly and ever so slightly change the licensing and take ownership of contributions and limit the use of these components, then create an all new version X that apparently is 100% written from the ground up with absolutely zero contributed code. Hmmmm... If you don't quite understand the little story, do read some of the older snort mailing list entries to get a feel for how every signature contributed or otherwise is now licensed by Sourcefire. As I said, they are going to do what they are going to do.-- Paul Schmehl, Senior Infosec Analyst As if it wasn't already obvious, my opinions are my own and not those of my employer. ******************************************* Check the headers before clicking on Reply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.
