HI,
Sadly, but truly, Nessus 3 is going commercial. Only binary distribution will be available and no source code would be included. However, Fyodor announced (on the mailing list) that nmap has no intentions of going commercial.Tenable argues that this move is necessary to further improve Nessus and/or make more money. Renaud annonunced on the Nessus list today that open source hasn't really worked for Nessus because "virtually nobody has ever contributed anything to improve the scanning _engine_ over the last 6 years."

Fyodor thinks that its about time, when the developers start contributing more aggressively towards open source project and could help making this world a better place.
