Update the Nmap copyright/license files. This isn't the new Nmap Publ…

…ic Source License we've been discussing on the list, but rather just a 'quick patch' to hopefully prevent some of the abuse we've been seeing from companies lately. More details on the changes will be posted to the dev list. Also, the copyright year was updated to 2013 (which is the only change to Nsock license statements).

* o Integrates source code from Nmap *
* o Reads or includes Nmap copyrighted data files, such as *
* nmap-os-db or nmap-service-probes. *

* Nmap with other software in compressed or archival form does not *
* trigger this provision, provided appropriate open source decompression *

* *
* This list is not exclusive, but is meant to clarify our interpretation *
* of derived works with some common examples. Other people may interpret *
* the plain GPL differently, so we consider this a special exception to *
* the GPL that we apply to Covered Software. Works which meet any of *
* these conditions must conform to all of the terms of this license, *
* particularly including the GPL Section 3 requirements of providing *
* source code and allowing free redistribution of the work as a whole. *
* *
* As another special exception to the GPL terms, Insecure.Com LLC grants *
* permission to link the code of this program with any version of the *
* OpenSSL library which is distributed under a license identical to that *
* listed in the included docs/licenses/OpenSSL.txt file, and distribute *
* linked combinations including the two. *
* *
* Any redistribution of Covered Software, including any derived works, *
* must obey and carry forward all of the terms of this license, including *
* obeying all GPL rules and restrictions. For example, source code of *
* the whole work must be provided and free redistribution must be *
* allowed. All GPL references to "this License", are to be treated as *
* including the special and conditions of the license text as well. *
* *
* Because this license imposes special exceptions to the GPL, Covered *
* Work may not be combined (even as part of a larger work) with plain GPL *
* software. The terms, conditions, and exceptions of this license must *
* be included as well. This license is incompatible with some other open *
* source licenses as well. In some cases we can relicense portions of *
* Nmap or grant special permissions to use it in other open source *
* software. Please contact [email protected] with any such requests. *
* Similarly, we don't incorporate incompatible open source software into *
* Covered Software without special permission from the copyright holders. *
* *
* If you have any questions about the licensing restrictions on using *
* Nmap in other works, are happy to help. As mentioned above, we also *
* offer alternative license to integrate Nmap into proprietary *
* applications and appliances. These contracts have been sold to dozens *
* of software vendors, and generally include a perpetual license as well *
