Thanks Pierre, I have pinged the authors on GitLab; let's see if there is a
quick reaction.

This is surely the kind of license innovation we don't like but since it passed
NEW screening I assume it is Free. 

This said export/import control related terms are definitely a good candidate
for a FAQ entry once the new DFSG team is up and running.  Andreas, how about
asking them to have a look at this license?

Have a nice day,

Charles
