I actually took idea & MD5 sigs, not from Nessus, but from OpenVAS
Well, same thing :)  Besides, the script I linked to and the script you linked
to look to be the same one anyway (it was GPL on that Nessus post as well).

Maybe it is. Not sure. Did not check Nessus one because of stricter
licenses they put on plugins recently...

Implementation is mine. And above script is released under GPL and it's
on OpenVAS feed for more than 2 years...
I can put that it is based on the above script in the .nse. I also
contributed additional md5 sigs back to the openvas nasl script...
All I'm saying is that it was obvious you took it from somewhere (since the
not-exactly-generic names corresponding to the MD5s were identical), and this
could avoid legal implications which may exist.

It's intentional took from "somewhere" by me (and obvious!). Didn't
think it would pose a problem (as both open source licensed). But I
guess I overlooked.
So, I contacted author of the original script (nasl), just to make sure
that everything is fine and I have his permission to include his md5 db.
