Source Code for Open Source components?

Simon Matthews

I am wondering where I would be able to download all the source code for all the open source software (including Sophos' modifications) used in the XG Firewall.

    Hey,

    I am no expert in this, but i don't think Sophos would give the source code for their Firewall. That would defeat the purpose of firewall security if the source code was available to everyone. 

    They are giving it for free for Home users and that doesn't mean that its Open Source. 

    Yes, they probably are using a Linux kernel but that doesn't mean that the firewall source code is open source.
