I have a problem with this release, a licensing problem. I have written about my issues with Sourcefires Snort licensing before <a href="http://www.inliniac.net/blog/2007/06/29/snort-and-the-gpl-version-3.html">here</a> and on the mailinglist as well, <a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.ids.snort.general/26768/">here</a>. They seem to have listened a little bit, since they are no longer claiming copyright of Todd C. Millers BSD licensed strlcpy and strlcat implementation. Sadly, our other complaints are completely ignored.</p> https://inliniac.net/blog/2007/06/29/snort-and-the-gpl-version-3/ Fri, 29 Jun 2007 20:21:24 +0000 https://inliniac.net/blog/2007/06/29/snort-and-the-gpl-version-3/ <p>Today the final version of the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html">GPL version 3</a> was released. This is interesting from many perspectives, and one of them is Snort licensing. Much has been written about Snort and the GPL lately, but that was all about new license language introduced with Snort 3.0 alpha and not about the currently maintained and developed 2.6 and 2.7 branches. When I&rsquo;m talking about Snort here and now, I mean those versions prior to 3.0.</p>
