As Linux distro's are mostly GPL, just ask them to cough up all the modifications, add ons and other nice license traps they walked into. http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/support/os_position.php mentions the url containing their modifications: http://source.barracuda.com/ with all kinds of RPM's for you to download. A bit oldish as the clearly have sources available now: http://packetstormsecurity.nl/papers/evaluation/Barracuda_Evil.txt mentions "Mandrake 9.1" too. *BSD is quite a bit better for those cases. Clearly quite a number of vendors can't care less about licensing as long as they can earn loads of cash... With BSD though one has to hope that the company using your cool tools returns something back or at least acknowledges what you did.
