There is a well-known piece of software (JSLint) whose license says that it shall not be used for evil.
The author wound up having to give an exemption to IBM or its minions. See https://web.archive.org/web/20170722132351/https://dev.hasenj.org/post/3272592502/ibm-and-its-minions https://web.archive.org/web/20170722132351/https://dev.hasen....
Before you laugh too hard, remember that IBM's tabulating machines were used by the Nazis for the holocaust. And IBM's customers include a variety of dictators who are trying to keep tabs on their population. As an institution they have extremely good reason to believe that their work will be used for evil.
