As far as I understand the licensing terms
http://www.nessus.org/plugins/index.php?view=faq
Nessus is and will stay to be GPLed. You have to register the plugins
depending on what you want to do with it. I believe that this is similar
to Snort where the code is GPL, you get a bundle of community-supplied
signatures and have to register/pay for Sourcefire's signatures.
Best,
René.
