See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netcat#Variants
GNU Netcat (GPL): http://netcat.sourceforge.net/
Netcat 1.10 (public domain): http://netcat.sourceforge.net/
Yet another implementation also included in Slackware (GPL):
http://nmap.org/ncat/

None of these conflict because the binaries have different names (netcat,
nc, and ncat respectively). But they're probably redundant.
