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.
