I agree. The reason we use Nessus is because it is a free, open-source tool. Nessus was created by a consortium of contributors, very skilled and knowledgable I might add, and to attempt to make money off their work would be disgraceful. Either make your contribution free-of-charge, or keep it to yourself. Otherwise, you would be ruining the spirit of the project.

I think the way you can pay back for your usage of an open source tool is by adding a report generator. Charging people while no contribution is made to the improvement of Nessus is not nice at all.
