Update Nmap Public Source License to Version 0.95. The only changes (besides version number) are clarifications that derivative works definition and all other license clauses only apply to parties who choose to accept the license in return for the special rights granted (such as Nmap redistribution rights). If a party can do everything they need to using copyright provisions outside of this license such as fair use, we support that and aren't trying to claim any control over their work
