Virtually nobody isn't nobody: have you obtained permission from all copyright holders of patches to relicense their intellectual property?

I see, you like to use the open source community to test, patch, and help develop your product but you no longer want to anty-up, and give back to the community that made you.

There was once was a time Tenable couldn't afford to write all their own plugins --- they can thank the open souce community for their roots, and they do so by throwing up the middle finger after they have some market headway.

I'll moderate this list if people simply send insults just because
they saw "next version not GPL" and did not have the time to think
before they sent their insult.

Could you kindly point me to improvements that the community has done
to the Nessus engine to improve its scanning ability ? I'm not
talking about one-liners which fix a compilation warning in gcc, but
a real improvement that the community has provided and which resulted
in a better scanner.
