I've done a long overdue review of the various Nmap licenses and have updated fedora-license-data accordingly.
1. LicenseRef-Nmap: not-allowed Related issue: https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/543 This is Callaway "Nmap", i.e. the GPLv2-incompatible GPLv2 gloss commented on here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing/Nmap This license was classified as "good" but on a new review, that assessment seems unjustified and inconsistent with the analysis of the subsequent licenses. While we should be very reluctant to overturn a past "good" classification I don't see any other option here. But there is a usage exception that says versions of Nmap covered by this license can continue to be included in Fedora Linux indefinitely. (I thought of limiting it to a couple of releases.) 2. LicenseRef-NPSL-0.92: not-allowed Related issue: https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/542 This was "NPSL" (on the "bad" list) prior to the migration to SPDX identifiers. See: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/GZIDC4DHXZP67LFU7P2OT2AQVDJRHZ2M/ It was mistakenly imported into fedora-license-data as `LicenseRef-NPSL-0.94`. 3. LicenseRef-NPSL-0.93: not-allowed Related issues: https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/541 https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/540 This covers the multiple versions of Nmap licenses labeled as "Version 0.93" and "Version 0.94" 4. LicenseRef-NPSL-0.95: not-allowed Related issue: https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/539 This covers the multiple versions of Nmap licenses labeled as "Version 0.95".
