WHEREAS

1. OpenVAS is a significant Free Software project. (OpenVAS is the Open Source fork of Nessus.)

2. The OpenVAS developers would like SPI's support and assistance, including DNS hosting and registration and possibly other services including taking donations, to be decided later by OpenVAS.

THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT

1. OpenVAS is formally invited to become an SPI Associated Project, according to the SPI Framework for Associated Projects, SPI Resolution 1998-11-16.iwj.1-amended-2004-08-10.iwj.1, a copy of which can be found at https://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/2004/2004-08-10.iwj.1
