Hi everyone,

I've been seeing several comments around the 'net regarding the audit
provision in the new VRT license and we're aware that people have
concerns with it.  Please be aware that we're looking at it and
evaluating what we want to do.  Any time you get lawyers involved
things sometimes don't work out quite like you were planning.  As I
said a few days ago, we're not a faceless corporation at Sourcefire,
we're a collection of people who are trying to put together a good
compromise that we can all live with.  We understand the concerns with
the the audit provision of the VRT license and we're going to to put
something better together.

The audit provision it's totally illegal in many countries. You can't
do that. It's that simple. You should talk very seriously to your
lawyers because that clause will stop many people from buying your
service. You should be aware of that.

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.
