The Nessus 2 engine is distributed under the GPL. Nessus 3 is not. The Nessus Registered plugin feed is no longer available. Switching to the ProfessionalFeed should not require you to "unravel the old free Nessus port". You should have just needed to use a new activation code. Both of these changes were covered in the media, this mailing list, and many other places well in advance of these changes. If anyone gets a Nessus port from Debian, FreeBSD, Gentoo, .etc, you should be aware, Tenable did not configure these or do these. If you are using Nessus, we highly recommend you to work with the distributions you get from nessus.org directly.
