I think most Nessus users would like to play fair, but I think many
of us are confused with exactly what is considered legal use of Tenable
plugins. For example, earlier you mentioned that including these
plugins in an applience was wrong. I don't produce or sell such a
device, or have ever even used one, but before that post I would have
assumed it was legal since I knew Nessus was GPL. Now that I understand
that the plugins are released under a different licence it makes
complete sense to me. Today there was a post, however, that mentions
Tenable plugins being used in "commercial service/product/consultancy".
So this almost seems to say that any for profit use of Tenable plugins
is wrong. Is this correct? With the new system can we legaly use it
for profit no matter if we've chosen the GPL only feed, the free
registration feed, or the fee feed?
Thanks for all your work,
Dave King
We realize that there are many organizations, which will be
effected by the plugin changes. I do not want to discuss in
a public forum any legal strategies Tenable may be pursuing
and I would also suggest that MSPs and product vendors *not*
be highlighted on this mailing list. As I said before, we
feel the number of folks who have embedded Nessus into their
commercial service/product/consultancy is in the 1000s.
