Cool, that's a very valid business model and strategy. 

Trying to bring this discussion back to GPL sids....

You're all great guys and I enjoy working with you all. But you work for the largest security vendor in the space 
who's only goal is to get more market share to jack up the share price while everyone prepares to cash out, or get 
yourselves bought by one of the big 5.

Seriously?  Our only goal is share price and cashing out?  Our goal is
to build great products that solve hard problems to give our customers
the capability to defend themselves effectively. There's a ton of
technology under the covers that makes all that happen (Snort, RNA,
RUA, Immunet, Razorback,etc).

We don't make any claims to being the company with the largest market
share in the industry but neither does Porsche.  I'm fine with being a
minority in the market if I'm the best.
