> As governments make more and more use of technology to perform acts of mass surveillance, detention, and even genocide, software authors may feel legitimately appalled at the idea that they are helping enable this by allowing their software to be used for any purpose. Too bad, even if you were to disallow that in your license, governments won't care, those things often are often already illegal - courts will dismiss your cases about violation of copyright by saying it is "national security secret". Additionally, licenses are based on copyright and cannot put additional restrictions. Consider GPL, it doesn't add restrictions, rather it allows you to do what copyright normally wouldn't allow. Programs are usable for any purpose by default, GPL doesn't change that. You can use EULA to add restrictions, however this requires an user to actually agree to those restrictions (by, say, clicking "I agree").
