I would imagine that you could find "commercial" products that are using
iptables and thus get around the open source problem. Astaro, SnapGear
and iKloak come to mind. I believe some WatchGuard models are based
upon iptables. There are also some other smaller players such as
SmoothWall (in the UK), Kyzo, NetMAX and NetMaster.
