You're reading the GPL correctly, but you're not reading the Changelog correctly. If you want to make nmap run on SCO UnixWare, that is OK but just don't expect anyone to help.

Personally, I think that UnixWare users have enough to worry about, and if nmap doesn't work they probably don't care at this point.

Free software on SCO platforms

I maintain a free software product, and the latest release will not compile on SCO platforms unless you add:

--enable-running-on-scummy-sco

to the ./configure command. (The software is GPL'd, so if someone wants to fork it to remove this setting, that's fine, but I think it gets the point across.)

Don't be childish. This kind of attitude hurts SCO users, not the idiots running that particular show. SCO users should get our sympaty (and help for getting out of the mess they will soon be in, when SCO goes under).
