Package: nmap
Version: 3.55-1
Severity: normal
nmap is licensed under the GPL and is linked against OpenSSL which has
an advertising clause. I do not think this is legal.
For another example within Debian, Ethereal (GPL) is not linked against
OpenSSL for this reason. This is unfortunate because it takes SNMP support out of Ethereal, but it seems to be necessary.
It would seem that nmap needs to be built without OpenSSL support
disabled for the same reason (or maybe it could use gnutls).
Maybe the upstream would add the "OpenSSL exception" to their license
(like the Nessus authors did if you read their license).
