Hi all,
because our company is many years Sourcefire's distributor, I think that I can describe the situation.
Snort wasn't sold to Cisco, really.
You can find an expression of Mr. Martin Roesch, Sourcefire CTO, Snort main developer and Snort license owner, etc.
For example, there
Columbia's Sourcefire agrees to $2.7 billion buyout by Cisco - baltimoresun.com
And what is the principle of Snort implementation in ASG or Sophos UTM?
The Snort implementation in ASG/Sophos UTM is Snort free distribution but with paid Snort rules from Sourcefire VRT team.
More about VRT rules is here
