Ah.
Does this mean packages seen of least interest aren't further maintained unless you purchase a commercial license? Or does it mean if no one is found to maintain a package it can be dropped from the distro unless no one asks for?
I do not even know if snort OpenSource is really useful, or if you need to buy the fully uptodate ruleset subscription to make it useful. If the latter is true, then snort.org should offer the packages. Snort works perfect with downloaded rules (database driven with acid), even if you are forced to customise your config file(s). For your own desires you have to kill some rules if you don't like to get false positives or unimportant ids-warnings.
An software author who distributes sources is not forced to offer pre-compiled binaries. In case of SuSE you don't find any binaries (maybe a few) offered from authors pages for up-to-date distributions. Instead you are forced to compile your own binaries or download from compiled sources with unknow file integrity. Notice: Any download not coming from the author of a software might contain _arbitrary_ (or any) code!
