FYI, since someone on the list was concerned about psionic's software being closed off. But, _please_ do not use portsentry in lieu of a firewall.

My time though has been spent on working on the commercial product and this has made me very slow to do updates on the freeware. Just to eliminate any speculation on the matter: 1) The software will remain open source and free. 2) The license for the software is being liberalized to use the Common Public License instead of the restrictive Psionic License. 3) It is I, not Cisco, who has been the speed bump on posting the changes due to work time constraints. As you can imagine many people have been asking about the software. Hopefully this will alleviate some of the concerns. As you could probably guess, getting acquired uses up a lot of one's time and focus. This wasn't a deliberate slight at the open source community and the large numbers of users and contributors to the project. I'm planning on making the licensing changes and posting the software to sourceforge by the end of this weekend. Thanks, -- Craig ----- End forwarded message -----
