"Why did you choose to change the license of Nessus?

Ron Gula: Customer demand. Organizations want a free product that they can use, and a place they can get commercial support and training from if needed."

Read: "There is still room to manouevre in the commercial security scanner market, so we're cashing in on the open-source community's work while we can."
