Hey, chill out Binand. There is no need for you to react the way you did to my post. What I expressed was _my_ opinion. And if _you_ don't like it, tough luck. It's still my opinion. > 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. If you read my post once again, you'll note that I've mentioned no such thing. All I've said is that a software that was once absolutely free now requires you to pay for current updates. Renaud is free to do as he likes with his software. What I'd asked the list in my last post was if there were any other equivalent free alternatives out there with functionality equivalent to Nessus. > Presumably the boxes you look after generate a revenue stream for > you.

The boxes I look after, I do after my official working hours in hospital. It's a voluntary job for the hospital, and I don't get a single buck out of it. Binand, I assume you've misunderstood my post. But if you still feel strongly about my post, lets take this discussion offlist, please.
