 > 7 years until it was restarted in 2013
 > (https://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2013/q1/399) and then we got distracted
 > by development again. We still have some ideas for improving the NPSL,

 > NPSL Version 0.92 to the code now and can make improvements later if
 > needed. This does not change the license of previous Nmap releases.
