Looking at Fedora now we have nmap-7.95 in Fedora 40 as an update and it has:
License: LicenseRef-NPSL-0.94Yes. This is erroneous because `LicenseRef-NPSL-0.94` inaccurately referred to the license we are now calling `LicenseRef-NPSL-0.92` (Callaway/Cotton "NPSL") but the license of Nmap changed several more times in the progression to 7.95.
The exception is only for LicenseRef-Nmap and not these NPSL variants, right? Which means nmap will have to be removed?
Yes,
Actually the Nmap maintainer/licensor has informally offered to let Fedora continue to use `LicenseRef-Nmap` for 7.95 (if I understood what they were saying correctly) so that is a possibility. But clearly not a long-term solution.
