How about plugins that used to be under GPL license or any other license, e.g. 'KK Liu' plugin id #11808, suddenly change to Tennable license (sometimes without any further funcional changes)?

If a plugin is rewritten from scratch ("white room"), the copyright goes to whoever rewrites it.


As you have probably noticed, we've dramatically changed the way we write plugins over the last years. Whereas we used to send blobs of data, we now dissect the protocol so that both us and anyone who reads the source code of the plugin can understand what every byte sent on the network does. This is much easier to read and to maintain than sending a huge hex string and waiting for an error code.
