   There's a discussion about this going on in a bug report filed upstream:
   <https://github.com/nmap/nmap/issues/2199>

Yes, but the license for nmap today is though non-free, and has so
been since version 3.30.  The entry in the FSD is also incorrect, it
is not GPLv2orlater -- it is not even GPL.
