    51  * This list is not exclusive, but is meant to clarify our interpretation  *

    52  * of derived works with some common examples.  Other people may interpret *

    53  * the plain GPL differently, so we consider this a special exception to   *

    54  * the GPL that we apply to Covered Software.  Works which meet any of     *

    55  * these conditions must conform to all of the terms of this license,      *

    56  * particularly including the GPL Section 3 requirements of providing      *

    57  * source code and allowing free redistribution of the work as a whole.    *

    58  *                                                                         *

    65  * Any redistribution of Covered Software, including any derived works,    *

    66  * must obey and carry forward all of the terms of this license, including *

    67  * obeying all GPL rules and restrictions.  For example, source code of    *

    68  * the whole work must be provided and free redistribution must be         *

    69  * allowed.  All GPL references to "this License", are to be treated as    *

    70  * including the terms and conditions of this license text as well.        *

    71  *                                                                         *

    72  * Because this license imposes special exceptions to the GPL, Covered     *

    73  * Work may not be combined (even as part of a larger work) with plain GPL *

    74  * software.  The terms, conditions, and exceptions of this license must   *

    75  * be included as well.  This license is incompatible with some other open *

    76  * source licenses as well.  In some cases we can relicense portions of    *

    77  * Nmap or grant special permissions to use it in other open source        *

    78  * software.  Please contact [email protected] with any such requests.       *

    79  * Similarly, we don't incorporate incompatible open source software into  *

    80  * Covered Software without special permission from the copyright holders. *

    81  *                                                                         *
