Hi Chris,
I'm sorry that you don't want to share your plugins with the rest of the
Nessus community. We really encourage you to do so.
If you do write a Nessus plugin and want to give it to someone else,
you are free to do that. If they already have Nessus and the .inc files
you are calling, then there is no issue.
Also, there is a plugin-writers mailing list. Sometimes folks who write
NASL plugins don't necessarily share thier code, but their ideas which
I'd also encourage you to do.
