After review, Fedora has determined that the Nmap Public Source License (NPSL) Version 0.92[1] is not acceptable for use in Fedora. We have updated our "Bad License" list[2] to include NPSL. No software under that license may be included in Fedora (including EPEL and COPRs).
The license includes restrictions on "proprietary software companies", which is a field of endeavor restriction contrary to the Open Source Definition[3]. If future versions of the NPSL are released, they will be re-evaluated for use in Fedora.
