Check Point Software Technologies to Acquire Sourcefire

Sourcefire is the commercial version of Snort, I wonder what Checkpoints long-term intentions truly are. On the Snort web site it is stated that they will continue to develop and distribute the Snort engine under the GPL and that Check Point is very excited about continuing Sourcefire’s involvement with the open source community. Wonder how long before that changes now that it will no longer be under the original coders( Marty Roesch) ownership.
