I'm certain that there is a non-disclosure agreement involved. Checkpoint makes security related products, including firewall and reporting products. They seem to have a high percentage of the firewall marketshare at this point. For anyone who would be interested in volunteering effort on a port of this commercial product to FreeBSD, the following forms would be of interest: http://www.checkpoint.com/opsec/application_master.html http://www.checkpoint.com/opsec/infrastructure_form.html I suspect that they would require a legal entity (e.g. FreeBSD, Inc.) to sign up on this, and that they would require a non-disclosure arrangement with FreeBSD, Inc., for coders willing to participate in a porting effort.
