Marty Roesch the founder of snort wrote to the mailing list today. Apparently rules developed at sourcefire will no longer be GPL. I hope this does not include the snort-sigs mailing list. It s funny cuz I personally have developed a large number of rules and seen other people take my rules make revision and submit them, I have never cared since I always felt it was for the good of the community. But I guess Im not a business trying to make money. I wonder how many of my rules sourcefire will sell and if Ill get any $$$.

Just a heads up for all the snort users. Now if you want 0-day protection I guess youll have to pay for it.I wonder if this is the beginning of the end for the open source project. Or if its gonna branch off the way linux did with all the linux vendors now.
