Their licensing page is interesting as well: https://nmap.org/oem/ https://nmap.org/oem/ Kudos to them for providing specific prices.
That being said, I'll suggest again what I've suggested before: let's just call these new licenses what they are: proprietary software with source availability. You have all the hassle of evaluating and signing a license agreement, paying for it and then paying for annual renewals too, monitoring your organization's license compliance (will they sic the much vilified Business Software Alliance if you're not?) and so forth. All the things that FOSS proponents once railed against about proprietary software are now back but now there's also a desire to take advantage of FOSS goodwill by branding themselves as open source instead of proprietary.
