I agree with the GPL-2.0 with exceptions, Debian also calls the license
nmap-GPL-2
(https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/n/nmap/nmap_7.70+dfsg1-3_copyright).
However, I'm not sure about the "or commercial". We used to have that
for Qt, but dropped it, I'm not sure to remember why. Yann ?
