Description Richard Fontana 2024-07-05 17:55:29 UTC
nmap 7.95 is apparently under this license:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/blob/47919b8dac98ad0f2639018e2b99ea3ad6b5e70a/LICENSE

This has been reviewed in Fedora and has been determined to be *not-allowed* under the identifier LicenseRef-NPSL-0.95:
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/539
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/merge_requests/588

Related upstream issue:
https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/2199

The spec file for the Fedora package incorrectly states:
License: LicenseRef-NPSL-0.94

That license (LicenseRef-NPSL-0.94) (regardless of what it refers to, which is somewhat unclear at the moment) is itself classified as not-allowed, so this package shouldn't have been included in Fedora even if that metadata were correct. 

Reproducible: Always
