Sure was.

Is that "/exploiting a loophole in the GPL/" or just plain unscrupulous?

A (sad) sign of the times. 'Good neighbour' seems like an outdated 
expectation we will have to adjust to, perhaps?

But "closing its source code 
<http://news.com.com/Nessus+security+tool+closes+its+source/2100-7344_3-5890093.html?tag=nefd.hed>" 
means neither Open nor Free, just free.
- Plenty of that around, indistinct from the Winworld.
