License Review: nikto database license
License Review Request
Hello, upgrading to new version of nikto I have tried to upgrade the license string to SPX and hit the problem #7 with the "Redistributable, no modification permitted" license granted to the nikto database files. The code of nikto is GPL-2.0-only and as such is bundled and advertised wole project, but in the distributed release there are dictionaries of attacks to try and those have this license (possibly over-ruled by the GPL on the bundle).
Releated files are found in the ./program/databases/db_* .
License name
