from the whole given context we can assume GNU General Public License v2 is meant. I'd say you check the scripts into SVN. > arboi-blah-blah: not sure if they are GPL, because it says: GPL, blah, > blah...anyone knows what that means? :) I've seen this in various places. Again we can assume GNU General Public License v2 from the given context. "blah" is probably a short version of the text as recommended for applying the GPL (adress of FSF etc).

Yes, we shuld step by step fill all remaining gaps (where it makes sense). > BTW David also pointed me to stillsecure nasl archive at: > http://arachnids.stillsecure.com/SAT/scripts/OSSSA/GPL/released/OSSSA/scripts/ there was already some discussion about this repository in the OpenVAS project - I didn't found the emails at a quick glance though.
