After some Linux distributions pushed back and even rolled back to
7.80, the 7.92 release (which includes this fix) is also released under
the nmap-v7.80 license.

https://nmap.org/npsl/ states

To ease the transition to the NPSL, the first three Nmap releases made
under that license (Nmap 7.90, 7.91, and 7.92) may also be used under
the previous Nmap license terms by anyone who prefers those.

I'll bump the comment in the Makefile to 7.92
