> Syslog-ng as a free software has been a tremendous success. It's been in
> wide use for almost four years now as the first release was made back in
> 1998.
> 
> As syslog-ng is a free software product it is very difficult to estimate the
> number of users of syslog-ng. Nevertheless we had over 40000 downloads in
> six months, and we have over 500 subscribers on our mailing list. These
> numbers are not exact either as syslog-ng is included in several GNU/Linux
> distributions like Debian. 
> 
> According to the Debian package popularity contest (12th May 2002)
> syslog-ng was used on 3% of all Debian boxes (based on 1587 submissions).
> 
> To support the continous development of syslog-ng we plan to create a
> commercial branch, and add related services to our portfolio (consulting,
> training and support).
> 
> Please help us to improve syslog-ng and related services, and fill the enclosed
