Any announcement earlier than this?

By the time this announcement went out, wasn't the cat supposedly
out of the bag already?  I.e. in 2004-July timeframe (Nessus 2.1.0)
hundreds of plugins were already released by Tenable, with Tenable
copyright, in a fully GPLed distribution.  And these scripts
continued to be updated via nessus-update-plugins, taking the total
to well over 1700 scripts, released with a Tenable copyright, under
the GPL, before this announcement ever came out.

Unless of course I missed an earlier announcement changing the policy
of components of Nessus (i.e the plugins) moving from GPL to a non-
GPL license?
