a) It doesn't meet the Free Software Definition or Open Source Definition. What if you want to use the software for evil?
b) Who defines what Evil is? What if the author sues you on the grounds that you're using their software for a perfectly legal activity, the morality of which is widely accepted by the general public, but which they personally disagree with? For example, many authors who have written these types of licences are pacifists who disagree with the actions of Western military forces. Are said military applications "Evil"?
