Hey Jeremy,
If you're not happy with this policy, why don't you just switch product and stop bothering the world with your comments ?
Apparently, no one has ever taught you good manners... Renaud and his company have put a lot of effort into this to accomplish the best product on the market. Apparently, also, this is not good enough for you. If you have never heard of the word *sharing*, I suggest you have a good look in your Webster and understand what this is all about.
As far as I'm concerned, I will keep using Nessus as long as it remains the good product it is today. If this changes two years down the road, I will reassess the situation and see which product offers me the best value for my money... but that's *not* now. And *now*, I see no point in complaining.
Have a nice day :-)

I am most annoyed because I have seen this trend before. Now you want us to register, next year it becomes purely pay for subscription, one year later Nessus isn't even supported any more and is replaced by a proprietary Tenable product.
Apparently I was mistaken about the number of contributors. I just assumed that with 2000+ GPL plug-ins, there must have been quite a few people involved for non commercial reasons.

But what about my question? Will Tenable be taking legal action against companies violating the license agreement on copyrighted plug-ins?
I do not discuss such legal matters in public.
In addition, how do you expect me to take your company seriously when you
respond to email in such a manner.
I speak for myself.
You guys are the ones changing the game here, so if you want to maintain your formally loyal user base, then you need to adequately sell us on these changes.
First, we may be the one to "change the game", but I'll remind you that we're the one who started it. And Renaud+Tenable are _by far_ the biggest contributors to Nessus (both the plugins and the engine), while you've been a user so far. In another mail you stated that Nessus was the work of
"hundreds of developpers". I suggest you look at the CVS logs and
everything to see how many contributors there have really been over
time.
Second, I don't need to sell you on these changes, because it's not a vote. If you're not happy with this new policy, then stop using the plugins we wrote and stick to the GPL plugins. That's plain and simple, and best of all, it does not require any change on your side.
Third, you still have not told me WHAT the annoyance was. I'm sure that it would benefit to the whole community if you could underline real annoyances which I'll be happy to fix, instead of complaining for no reason.
