  Courtesy @llimllib: "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil.” site:http://code.google.com yields 35k results, they’ve got a lot of banning to do

    They should probably ban themselves while they are at it...

    The problem with this license is that this phrase is simply there to be cute. There is no legal definition of Evil and I don't see how you can come up with one. It accomplishes nothing other than making the license incompatible with other licenses and adding uncertainty.

    Given their motto, shouldn't this particular clause be required rather than banned.
