[VIM] Secunia has now put ALL vulnerability info behind login?

[Williams, James K]

FYI, Secunia has clarified what they mean by “commercial use” in a revised EULA.  In short, only “students, the press (if the use is for media coverage), private persons and hobby researchers” can use/view/access Secunia vulnerability data.
Non-profit organizations, private companies, and public authorities and entities are NOT allowed to access or use any Secunia data, for any reason.

The revised EULA can be found here:  http://secunia.com/community/profile/ under the “Create Profile” tab.

Regards,
Ken

I wonder what constitutes commercial purposes?

We reference them with a link to their website, and do not sell our vulnerability data.

Thanks.
