It appears that Checkpoint allows "Infrastructure partners" to
do ports of their code to the partner platforms.
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.
