well you could certain do that, and several companies have including my own
which offers it as service but you would have to made sure any code you
added to the orignal code base would comply with the nessus license which i
believe is GPL.  This basically states that any code you release must be
free and the source code must be made available.  YOu can charge for
distribution costs or other services.  So bottom line, good for a service
based company not so good for software you intend to sell commercially.

Subject: Nessus Licensing?


Can nessus be used as a commercial tool? That is to say a backend for a
commercial application. What are the limitations of this project?
