We should discriminate against evil. Period.

• justinjlynn 7y ago
  Of course you shouldn't contribute to evil as you see it. Contributing to that against which you fight is stupid. The problem with applying that to licences is that they have to apply everywhere, to everyone, equally. Who defines what evil is? You? Me? The person with the most power? The person with the least? How do you measure that? Is there even an absolute definition of evil? I seriously doubt such a definition exists. I'd go so far as to say I hope one doesn't - thinking of the implications. I wish you the best of luck - because that's all it'll be; in terms of denying evil access to your software. Of course, your licence choice matters because we all know that evil follows all the rules - especially those which don't suit its purposes. /s

    That's why my license choice is closed source.

      Suit yourself - though, if I'm being honest, I'm wondering why you're even in this thread.

        I'm keeping an open mind. You haven't changed it. I did get more evidence that open sourcing software doesn't pay the bills. I don't know why you're so angry about that. Calling people names. Implying people don't even have a right to speak on a topic. Something is emotionally driving you. You're deeply resentful.

          The only thing I'm resenting at the moment is people like you wasting my time with responses specifically designed to provoke flame posting. You still haven't answered my question, and I'm not going to bother responding until you do - just why is it that are you in this thread?
