Are there plans in the future to include an SMTP proxy?
Also, is the GPL version of Zorp going to be widely supported as far as patches and security updates go? Or will the Pro version get more attention from the Zorp Corp., therefore be more robust?
As far as company strategy goes, BalaBit plans to release both the GPLd and the non GPLd version of Zorp in parallel. However it sometimes happens that there are gaps between the two versions, as development takes place in the commercial branch and we backport changes to the GPLd version from time to time. We are changing some of the development process to make this gap as small as possible (essentially using the same CVS branch and use external tools to separate the features). The SMTP proxy is one of the reasons why our customers choose the commercial offering. Therefore there are currently no plans to release it under the GPL. However this might change in the future. BalaBit always had a strong open source attitude, we release nearly all our developments under the GPL (syslog-ng, tproxy patches, Zorp GPL, all the utilities we include in ZorpOS). I think the current GPL version is enough to show the possibilities that Zorp provides which is sometimes more than other (even commercial) proxy based firewall products offer. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
