Hi,

Yes, the third version of Nessus is not going to be released under GPL.
(search for Renaud Deraison's pronouncement)
However, a fork is available by Tim Brown, called OpenVAS / GNessUs /.
As the previous name implies it is a GPL fork. :)
You can find out more about that at their site,
http://www.openvas.org/doku.php .
Best regards,

DC
