[Fedora-legal-list] Consider adding MVT License 1.0 to list of allowed/good licenses

[Christian Glombek]

Hello all,

The Mobile Verification Toolkit[1] project (developed by the Amnesty
International Security Lab in light of the recent news about the Pegasus[2]
spyware) is using an adapted MPL 2.0 license, the MVT License.

I'd like for this license to be vetted by the legal team, and added to the
list of allowed licenses in Fedora so the software can be distributed
through Fedora channels.

From https://github.com/mvt-project/mvt#license:

>  The purpose of MVT is to facilitate the consensual forensic analysis
> of
>  devices of those who might be targets of sophisticated mobile spyware
>  attacks, especially members of civil society and marginalized communities.
>  We do not want MVT to enable privacy violations of non-consenting
>  individuals. Therefore, the goal of this license is to prohibit the use of
>  MVT (and any other software licensed the same) for the purpose of
>  adversarial forensics.
>
>  In order to achieve this, MVT is released under an adaptation of Mozilla
>  Public License v2.0. This modified license includes a new clause 3.0,
>  "Consensual Use Restriction" which permits the use of the licensed software
>  (and any "Larger Work" derived from it) exclusively with the explicit
>  consent of the person/s whose data is being extracted and/or analysed
>  ("Data Owner").
