One final thought I had: should the Windows setup/zip files include
COPYING.OpenSSL (and perhaps display it as part of the setup file's
LICENCE page) now that the binaries support OpenSSL?

I was thinking about this for the Mac installer too. There's a lot of
copyrighted software, some of which has been slightly modified (by me)
to make it build in MacPorts. I'm careful to record all the
modifications I make in the file macports-1.7.0-universal.diff, so we
could provide complete corresponding source code if required to do so.
But it seems like we should include licenses for all the included
software. It doesn't have to be obtrusive, just a file in the .dmg that
the user can delete if he wants to. We could use the licenses from
http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/2007/q4/0747.html.

However, the other free software Mac OS X applications I looked at
(Wireshark, Inkscape, Gimp) don't include all these licenses, if I
remember correctly.

Unfortunately PyGTK brings in a huge number of dependencies. This is a
list of the libraries that come in Zenmap.app/Contents/Frameworks:

libXrender.1.dylib         libglib-2.0.0.dylib        libpangoft2-1.0.0.dylib
libatk-1.0.0.dylib         libgmodule-2.0.0.dylib     libpixman-1.0.dylib
libcairo.2.dylib           libgobject-2.0.0.dylib     libpng12.0.dylib
libcrypto.0.9.8.dylib      libgthread-2.0.0.dylib     libpython2.5.dylib
libexpat.1.dylib           libgtk-x11-2.0.0.dylib     libsqlite3.0.dylib
libfontconfig.1.dylib      libiconv.2.dylib           libssl.0.9.8.dylib
libfreetype.6.dylib        libintl.8.dylib            libtiff.3.dylib
