    Dites en lisant la news vous auriez vu que le lien "faiblesse des contributions" de la news pointe sur un mail ( http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus/2005-October/msg0004(...) ) de Renaud qui mentionne "A number of companies are _using_ the source code against us, by selling or renting appliances, thus exploiting a loophole in the GPL. So in that regard, we have been fueling our own competition and we want to put an end to that. Nessus3 contains an improved engine, and we don't want our competition to claim to have improved "their" scanner.".

    L'auteur a publiquement expliqué la situation à de nombreuses reprises comme par exemple dans http://mail.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus/2005-January/msg0018(...)

    We're fed up to do most of the work and let many companies not only profit from our efforts, but also actively fight against us (or me personally
    as it happened in the past).
    I'm fed up of seeing companies bill their customers for "plugin updates" for a much higher price than 1,200ドル per year, when all they do simply is to mirror www.nessus.org/nasl/all-2.0.tar.gz and resell it to their users (without any QA on them by the way, I have a funny annecdote about that). And I'm fed up of seeing all these companies take _my_ work, rebrand it, and claim it as being their own technology.
