Hello!

I just got in contact with David Maciejak (old GPL nasl plugin writter).
He told me we can use all the scripts authored/written by him in nessus
feed under GNU GPL v2 license.

I took the scripts from him and other free scripts and made compilation
of the gpl feed what we can use on:
http://www.linux.hr/openvas/feed/

Description of the directories there:

gpl: these scripts are probably working and are GPL, there is few
scripts by Arboi were he says "GPL..." after his copyright notice, so I
guess it is released under GPL.

arboi-blah-blah: not sure if they are GPL, because it says: GPL, blah,
blah...anyone knows what that means? :)

4check: it should be checked if they work at all. For example there is
gentoo checks which might not work - can someone who is doing gentoo
stuff check it?

depend-misc: these scripts depends on various nasl/inc files which are
not free, but with relatively small effort they could be rewritten to
not require commercial scripts, the scripts itself are free

depend-rpc: these scripts depends on various RPC include scripts which
are not free, but the scripts itself are free

depend-smb: these scripts depends on various SMB include scripts which
are not free, but the scripts itself are free

Can you take a look at it and tell if it's okay to commit them to SVN?
I mean gpl directory. For others let's see what we can do.
Also, what we should do with the scripts for which we don't have right
includes? should we start writting from the scratch copyrighted .inc files?

BTW David also pointed me to stillsecure nasl archive at:
http://arachnids.stillsecure.com/SAT/scripts/OSSSA/GPL/released/OSSSA/scripts/

I can get in contact with them also and commit it to SVN if we find some
scripts useful.

Let me know!

Kost
