The consensus was that the copyright has to be shown somewhere.
ie: the text is not under the GPL, but as long as the end user
can easily find out who wrote the plugin, that's fine.

What do you imply by that ? There are dozens of companies embedding
Nessus (GPL and non-GPL plugins) in their products, and it seems it
has never bothered anyone on this list but me.
The GPL feed is there for everyone to use - no registration, no delay.
So if you submit a plugin under a GPL (something you've never done by
the way), then Tenable does not even enter in the picture.
