Re: [Openvas-discuss] Some last Plugins license issues (urgent)

We announced the plugin feed alongside the release of Nessus 2.2.1, and we made clear at the time that not all plugins available before that date was under the GPL either. Plugins on which we own the copyright and for which the header do not explicitely state that it's GPL'ed are NOT GPL'ed. Read the Nessus mailing list archives for the discussion we had at the time. -- Renaud ___ Openvas-discuss mailing list Openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss

On May 25, 20 not sure whether there is a misunderstanding here: The list I posted named proprietary plugins we are missing to reactivate GPL plugins. So it is even absolutely correct the veritas*.nasl appear on this list. My mistake then :) Note that contrarily to what is said there, a missing dependency does not deactivate a plugin -- the plugin will run nevertheless, but there will be less info in the KB. While in some cases it means the plugin will not run (ie: if it depends on a specific KB item), in most cases it will run fine. For instance, the absence of the httpver.nasl plugin does not deactivate all the http-related plugins, they'll just assume that the remote web server is at least speaking HTTP/1.0. -- Renaud ___ Openvas-discuss mailing list Openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss

Hi OpenVAS community, I have been contacted by Tenable. They are pretty sure some plugins in openvas-plugins module are present that should not be there due to never being GPL licensed. Basically it should at least be anything that matches grep -i script_copyright.*Tenable.* scripts/* Just a clarification : I was referring to the list of plugins seen in the email than Jan sent to openvas-devel : http://lists.wald.intevation.org/pipermail/openvas-devel/2007-May/ 000315.html Whereby some plugins such as the Veritas Netbackup plugins have never been released in the GPL feed and whose release post-dates our license announcement nearly by a full year. The current Tenable GPL feed does indeed contains some scripts (C) Tenable which are explicitely released under the GPL (such as gpl_feed.nasl) - redistributing those is obviously allowed. -- Renaud ___ Openvas-discuss mailing list Openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
