I understand, it would have been more practical for everybody if IDMEF
was already standardized at the time of the Prelude 0.8 release.
Importing 0-8 data would require to write a specific migration tool, and
right now we unfortunately have no time and nobody to work on that
specific issue. Contribution would of course be welcome.

This company will be positioned as the editor of the Prelude software.
It will provide support, development of functionality answering to
company needs, and others services. Just to be clear, everything done by
the company will of course remain GPL.

The goal is to professionalize the project.

It will permit the current Prelude developers to be paid for their work,
to hire more developers, and to continue improving the product.
