In the future I think Tenable owes it to the openVAS team to provide
specific information when it is alleging copyright violations.  Being
"pretty sure" doesn't really help us identify where these infractions
might be.

That being said I couldn't find anything using grep
day:~/projects/trunk/openvas-plugins/plugins zero$ grep -R -i tenable *
day:~/projects/trunk/openvas-plugins/plugins zero$

Until Tenable is able to provide us with specific filenames and paths
I would suggest we just move on.
