My apologies. I didn't want to make assumptions, which is why I asked the question.
I'm sure you can agree that people like us face an uphill battle in trying to achieve legitimacy for the professional use of OSS, particularly in the security space. We've all been on the end of a conference table defending the use of OSS to people who believe that it is only useful for crackers, propeller heads, and CS students. It is this desire to preserve the reputation of projects like Nessus which prompted my inquiry. Again, I apologize for any offense.
