RE: Nessus - open or closed source?

["Troy L. Mayes" <tlm () icginc com>]

Isn't it only access to the code that will be restricted, not access to
the application?  Mainly due to the fact that other organizations have
been "borrowing" the code and incorporating it into their applications,
and not compensating the developers of Nessus (and claiming the
capabilities as their own).

V3.0 will be closed source. I think they are going to keep the v2 line
going for a while however.
