Well, that's not what every single quote I've seen to date states. It
states that their concern was over the fact that a lot of sensitive
agencies use *SNORT*.
This has nothing to do with the question of whether Check Point is
Israeli or Arab, or whether it is government owned or not. As far as I
can see it, it is Al-Quedia that could make the buy offer, and the US
government should not have had any reason to object. This is what Open
Source is all about.
