Quite a while back these were produced from a MPL-2.0-licensed file ("certdata.txt"). Now they are produced from the same data published by Mozilla as part of the CCADB project.

CCADB data is provided under its own usage terms, and a copy of that is included as LICENSE-CCADB here. It bears resemblance to MIT-0 plus the third clause in BSD-3-Clause, but unfortunately isn't precisely the same as either.

I guess... Wonder if it's worth pushing on this upstream to see if they can't align with an existing license instead. I think the current setup means that everyone using cargo deny has to set an explicit hash to acknowledge the custom license, etc...
