License:

This package holds software with three different licenses:

- GNU General Public License version 2 or later: the build scripts, hmacmd5
  and nasl_signature source
- GNU General Public License version 2: the regex source
- GNU General Public License version 2 with an OpenSSL linking exemption:
  the majority of the library itself

The following text explains which licenses apply to which parts of the code. In
case of doubt the interested party should review the copyright headers of the
affected files.

The license for most of the software in this package is the following:

    This software is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License.

    This software is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
    GNU General Public License for more details.

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
    along with this package; if not, write to the Free Software
    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301 USA

Notice that some parts of the software (source code files) are available
at a GPL version 2 or (at your choice) a later version, as described above.

On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General
Public License can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'.

In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give
permission to link the code of portions of this program with the
OpenSSL library under certain conditions as described in each
individual source file, and distribute linked combinations
including the two.

The Debian package is not compiled using this library but uses the GnuTLS
library available in the Debian archive (libgnutls26).  This is because
the OpenSSL library linking exemption was not uniformly applied to all
parts of the original pre-fork Nessus code base, but only nessus-client
and libnasl2 despite the aggregate work needing SSL support.

You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects
for all of the code used other than OpenSSL.  If you modify
file(s) with this exception, you may extend this exception to your
version of the file(s), but you are not obligated to do so.  If
you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your
version.  If you delete this exception statement from all source
files in the program, then also delete it here.

include/config.h.in make reference to PKT_LICENSE.  This file was not
present in Nessus and the file not shipped with Nessus either.  The
PKT_LICENSE was not found via Internet search engines nor is found
the software "pkt_forge" which seems to be origin.  In fact it is said
that pkt_forge formed a part of NASL.  Thus we do believe it is a
accidental left-over, but we do not have a clearifing statement by the
author.

The Debian packaging is (C) 2007, Tim Brown <timb@nth-dimension.org.uk> and
is licensed under the GPL, see above version 2 (or later).
