I suggest you look a bit closer: the license was changed quite recently,
and since the issue was brought up, the maintainers have clarified the
intent, making it clear that the problems in the license are *not*
intended are there is every reason to believe that they will be
fixed soon.
So, `nmap` has always been Free Software and the maintainers still want
to keep it that way. The current license has *bugs*, that's it.
