I've asked for clarification on what Sourcefire constitutes a derivative of Snort as even the Snort 3.0 license doesn't really clarify this. I'm sure others would appreciate the answer as well. Sourcefire is the only one who can tell us what they think constitutes a derivative that would prompt legal action. And getting this information out in the open could prevent wasted time for Sourcefire as well as Snort and ClamAV integrators. Thank you.
