Reject stale PMPL identifiers as well as palimpsest.

For example, a LICENSE file containing valid MPL text and SPDX-License-Identifier: PMPL-1.0 passes this command. The first grep matches, and the negative check does not find palimpsest. The trust check then accepts a stale PMPL claim.

Extend the negative pattern to include PMPL.

Correct the MPL-2.0 section reference and attribution.

The exhibit refers to MPL-2.0 Section 4.1, but MPL-2.0 has no Section 4.1 and does not impose the quantum-safe provenance rule described here. Cite this as project policy or exhibit guidance, and state that it does not modify MPL-2.0. Apply the same correction to the satellite exhibit.

that requirement; if retained, cite that policy rather than MPL-2.0 Section 4 or

Require MPL-2.0, not any recognised licence.

The check accepts MIT, Apache, GPL, and Creative Commons text. A LICENSE containing MIT License can therefore pass while satellites/a2mliser/Cargo.toml declares MPL-2.0.

Check the exact SPDX identifier and, preferably, the canonical MPL-2.0 title.

Proposed check 
-    grep -qiE 'Mozilla Public License|MIT License|Apache License|General Public License|Creative Commons' LICENSE && ! grep -qi palimpsest LICENSE
+    grep -q '^SPDX-License-Identifier: MPL-2.0$' LICENSE && grep -q '^Mozilla Public License Version 2.0$' LICENSE && ! grep -qi palimpsest LICENSE
