Thanks for the counterpoint.

If you take a look at the actual licensing by countries, you will see my suspicions are indeed confirmed. The support tickets issued by Australian law enforcement, for example, mention that use is only permitted through warrants and even specifically states their reporting and documentation requirements.

>Our Warrants authorize the use of the the FF intrusion capability as well as the individual modules that are used. At the conclusion of a warrant there is a requirement that a report is made on every date / time each module captures information. For example, if a key logger captures data at 1pm 2/1/2013 we need to report this to our legal system. This time/date is important for reporting procedures as there is a requirement to record every instance a module is used. Is there some way of just extracting the time/date and module name to a report?

This does not constitute unethical use of this software. This is simply a way of placing a "wire tap" on a computing device.
