The question is still the restrictions placed on the subscription license

Symantic, FoundStone, nCircle and various branches of the US government (and
other governments as well).

- nCircle, Foundstone and Symantec already compete with Nessus/Tenable as they 
are selling proprietary security scanners. *If* these guys were using the Nessus
checks (or part of their contents) they would be in serious legal trouble, even 
if everything was released under the GPL ;

- The US government is already competing (in a way) with Nessus through
the 'OVAL' initiative (a good idea badly implemented IMHO) ;
