RE: My Experience with the new Sourcefire VRT rules..

They do have a blurb in there concerning if local laws prevent fully complying with the license terms so they did think 
of that. I'll leave it up to the lawyers to determine how good/bad the clause is, but it is there.

This is completely illegal. At least in my country, Spain. Sourcefire should be aware that their license it's under the 
control of the country laws they are selling their services to. I think this it's going too fast. I agree with the new 
licensing terms, but this is an error. I think Sourcefire should take a look at their licensing terms or the license 
will not be legal in many countries.
