Let me just clarify for everyone reading the list. I have mentioned that 
portions of the product will be released as open source. To summarize, 
the Linux and BSD port will be a complete open source product and win32 
will be a semi-open source product.

The ike daemon which has been ported to Linux and BSD is the lions share 
of code and will be released as open source. The same daemon can also be 
used as an alternative to the ipsec-tools racoon daemon for both client 
gateway and site to site configurations. A gui site manager application 
and client connect program similar to the windows product will also be 
made open source. This constitutes a mostly complete and complimentary 
product for Linux and FreeBSD as these kernels already contain strong 
support for ipsec protocols. However, the win32 kernel drivers, ipsec 
policy/packet processing and dns proxy code will *not* be released as 
open source. These components are either platform specific or represent 
a large amount of headache and financial investment to have certified.

Thanks,
