There are apparently at least 3 versions:

1. Classic Netcat (http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/) [URL no
longer works, since company has been bought by Symantec], under
non-standard permissive license
(http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/n/netcat/netcat_1.10-38/netcat-traditional.copyright).
2. GNU Netcat (http://netcat.sourceforge.net/), under GPL 2.
3. OpenBSD Netcat
(http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/nc/) under 2-clause BSD.
