What about GPL plugins that include() or depend on non-GPL

Thank you, I thought that existing .inc files with Tenable copyright
where proprietary. So, there won't be any proprietary .inc file ever?


- Regarding dependencies, the license does not come into play (the
  plugin uses the _results_ of another plugin).


If I understand it, there may be plugins in the GPL feed that do not
work without proprietary plugins from non-GPL feed. Is that true? (Is
there a possibility that some GPL plugins would be rewritten to
proprietary so depending GPL plugins would stop to work this way?)
