I'm sorry, I have been staring at your question, and cannot decipher it. I
did start a new thread instead of expanding on an 80K... I do not believe I
am using debating techniques here.
I need to reply to Renaud, Ron and Tenable and have not done so - just lazy
I guess. I asked very specific questions about the Tenable/Nessus
relationship and their business plans. They have been amazingly honest and
forth-coming. I know most corporations would be this open.
On the otherhand, I believe there were several questions unanswered before
the 80K dialog.
So, the direction for Nessus seems to be:
1. The majority of the plugins will be proprietary to Tenable. There is
no real room to have any real involvement by an open-source community when
the submissions will compete (and push-come-to-shove loose to the Tenable
submissions), so the future of Nessus plugins will be to support Tenable
activities
2. The core Nessus system will become proprietary Tenable (as alluded to
by Renaud's remarks to this message).
Far as I can tell by the responses by most on this list, this seems to be
fine with most Nessus users. As I have stated - Nessus is a critical
resource for the entire world, if you include cyber-terrorism looming, and
such. Once Nessus is closed and Tenable, and if Tenable were to collaps, be
sold to another company, or whatever - Nessus will be gone.
So, my interest is more than *idle*.

Tenable Network Security, as you will probably be interested to know
other restrictions about the redistribution of Nessus 2.2 (and newer)
binaries.
Curious about this statement. Is the Nessus engine somehow non-GPL?
I guess it was *idle* curiosity that caused you to quote the entirety of
an 80K message to (not) support your 11 words?
