Hello, In the forwarded email below (from the Nessus general list), Renaud of Tenable Security verified my comment that any individual/company using any plugins other than the GNU plugins _and_ scanning systems not owned by themselves may be in a breach of contract. If they get the core or plugin source code from any other server other than a Nessus/Tenable server, they might be violating the EULA. Should this be marked RESTRICTED, MASTER_SITES be altered to only go for nessus.org/tenablesecurity.com servers, or the project not even worry about it?
