call me chop suey, but if i read the following legal
snippet on nessus.org correctly:

"SUBMISSIONS  (http://www.nessus.org/privacy)
Except where expressly provided otherwise by Tenable,
all comments, feedback, information or materials
submitted to Tenable through or in association with
this web site ("Submissions") shall be considered
non-confidential and Tenable's property. By providing
such Submissions to Tenable, you agree to assign to
Tenable, at no charge, all worldwide rights, title and
interest in copyrights and other intellectual property
rights in the Submissions. Tenable shall be free to
use and/or disseminate such Submissions on an
unrestricted basis for any purpose. You acknowledge
that you, not Tenable, have full responsibility for
the Submissions that you provide, including their
legality, reliability, appropriateness, originality
and copyright."

does this mean if i contribute a new NASL script,
Tenable owns it?  

what if i contribute a NASL script 1 day after tenable
creates a proprietary one?  does tenable holds on to
the rule for later release?

what kind of checks and balances exist to prevent
Tenable from taking a GPL NASL submission and using it
to create their proprietary one?  It would be easy for
Tenable to say: "we had one first, so we are delaying
this for 7 days" -- how does anyone know for sure but
tenable?

where exactly is the license agreement that pertains
to plugins?
