To head off any questions, I want to quickly state our policy on 
commercial extensions to the Metasploit Framework:

1. We believe that allowing people to sell modules and plugins for the 
Metasploit Framework is good for the project in the long term. The more 
commercial dependency there is on the project, the more likely it is that 
we will receive valuable patches, bug fixes, and QA.

2. We have no plans to sell the Framework or extensions to it, but we have 
no problem with others doing so (subject to the terms of the license, in 
the case of 3.0). If you have a hot new 0day and feel like selling a 
Metasploit module for it (2.7 or 3.0), feel free to do so.

3. We don't mind if commercial organizations post to the Framework mailing 
list about their products, but if it gets out of hand, we may need to 
start moderating content. If you plan on selling something for the 
Framework, try to offer something for free as well. 

4. Metasploit LLC (the holder of the Metasploit IP) does not endorse any 
commercial product and is not liable for poor quality modules or outright 
fraud in the case of a dishonest vendor. We do not provide escrow 
services and prefer to not know the details of any transaction between 
our users and module vendors. All transactions are between the seller and 
the buyer, so make sure you trust the vendor before doing business with 
them.
