I'll cope - I was really trying to understand the implications of the licence 
- I'm quite happy with compiling from a "pristine" nessus.org source (as 
opposed to a GPL version from a linux distro)... if I can have one "build" 
machine and one "Production" machine. And I want to see if the licence allows 
that... it is a bit ambiguous ;-).

Situation
-------------

- Build on my work station.

- Install nessus scanner on my firewall.

- Test my web server from the firewall across the network.

I want to run nessus on the firewall, so that I can test my web server 
_before_ I open up the firewall to allow the world access to it.

And it is a lot quicker to scan it locally than over the network.

I expect I'll just put another box behind the firewall that can run nessus.

But that means finding another box...

Thanks for the suggestion though,

Ian.
