Then shell out $1200/year for the direct feed. You don't want Deraison
and family to starve, do you?

I hate it when people ALWAYS want GPL software for free as in beer.
GPL is a software license that allows a sustainable business model,
while keeping software free as in speech. Business models are based
upon the assumption that somebody wants to buy your services or
products paying good money. If you really hate Renaud's business
model, please feel free to take out last GPL'ed version of  Nessus's
plugins and continue to develop them yourself - that is the power of
GPL.

Presumably the boxes you look after generate a revenue stream for you.
You need to pay out that revenue for products and services that let
you have that revenue - this is economics 101.
