Let's add some license experts in the loop.

I am not sure this is an accurate description of the license terms.
Reading https://pycryptodome.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/license.html
(which is the same as the LICENSE.rst you use as a license file), it
says:

"""
The source code in PyCryptodome is partially in the public domain and
partially released under the BSD 2-Clause license.
"""

There is also the text of the Apache 2.0 license, but it doesn't say to
which part of the code it applies.

And there is a special constraint for the OCB cipher, that it cannot be
used for military purposes. I am not sure how Debian accepts that, but
they do accept it:
https://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/main/p/pycryptodome/pycryptodome_3.6.1-2_copyright.

Yann, Arnout, I'm interested by your opinion on this package.

Best regards,

Thomas
