* Ben Cotton: > After review, Fedora has determined that the Nmap Public Source > License (NPSL) Version 0.92[1] is not acceptable for use in Fedora.

(It would theoretically be possible that as part of the review, it became clear that upstream's and Fedora's interpretation of the previous license terms had been different, and upstream's interpretation is incompatible with Fedora's requirements.)
