I don't doubt that you are correct. This is what I was recalling and referring to from the seclist post regarding nmap: This is exactly why Nmap isn't under the plain GPL. Our license (http://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html http://nmap.org/book/man-legal.html) specifically adds a clause forbidding software which "integrates/includes/aggregates Nmap into a proprietary executable installer" unless that software itself conforms to various GPL requirements (this proprietary C|Net download.com software and the toolbar don't). Can't imagine they would want to release the source code to their software at any point, it's easier to just make a blanket statement that you don't intend to bundle any open source software with it. Even if that's not what you actually do which seems to be the case according to some of the other comments.
