Doesn't stop people from trying to have the cake and eat it too. I think I remember reading about a FOSS project on GitHub that put a clause in the license that said something along the lines of "this software is free to use except for purposes we deem immoral in which case you can't use it" (sorry, I can't remember which project it was)
