Hello,

nobody here who can shed any light on this?

I also asked my question through i...@openvas.org, but no response there
either.

1) Basically, I got an automated reply back, in which the following was
stated as part of the openvas FAQ:

"The community contributions of Greenbone (like the Greenbone Community
Edition or the actual source code) are free of charge. You do have to
accept the conditions of the GNU General Public License and of some
other Open Source licenses. "

So, which licenses are these or where could I find this information?

2) the website at www.openvas.org clearly states: " If you encounter
problems with our infrastructure, have legal questions etc, then please
contact: i...@openvas.org." => I think my questions are definitely
legal/commercial of nature, but well, I'm going to ask here again too.

3) the website at www.openvas.org also states: " All OpenVAS products are
Free Software. Most components are licensed under the GNU General Public
License (GNU GPL). "  but I can't find any information on the website
again. Stating "most components" doesn't say a lot.

Therefore, my question: is it allowed to embed the greenbone community
edition in other commercial offerings, and if so, are there any
restrictions/conditions?

Or even just a detailed overview of what components fall under which
license? "Most components", well...

Thank you in advance for your feedback!
