Check Point Software Technologies to Acquire Sourcefire

[Jennifer Steffens <jennifer.steffens () sourcefire com>]

Hi Everyone,

We are very excited to announce that Check Point has signed an agreement 
to acquire Sourcefire. We understand that this announcement affects not 
only Sourcefire but the community as well. We want to be sure to put 
everyone's mind at ease that Snort is now and will continue to be free 
to end-users.  We will continue to develop and distribute the Snort 
engine under the GPL, improve and document the program to stay on the 
cutting edge and expand the snort.org web site.  The community 
continues, as always, to be important to us as a group of people who use 
the code pervasively throughout the entire Internet, report on problems 
and make suggestions and contributions to the project.  Check Point is 
very excited about continuing Sourcefire’s involvement with the open 
source community!

Read a message from Marty Roesch, Snort creator, to the community at

Regards,
Jennifer
