Nmap License Terminated on SCO -- 6:35 pm CST, Update by The Master

According to posts all over the net (check out the one on Groklaw), Fyodor has terminated SCO's rights under the GPL to distribute his Nmap security software. This is huge, since I think it's the first case in the GPL community of a GPL author terminating SCO's right to distribute software due to their attacks on the GPL. Here's to hoping that the Apache, X, and Samba crews do the same.

A.T. Hun comments: I believe that Apache and X are under different open source licenses. I'm not very familiar with either one.
