Yep, iTunes famously may not be used to produce nuclear weapons. Well, the non-clickbait story is that Apple's generic user license has some boilerplate CYA regarding US federal laws. But seeing it written down in your music player is still funny [1]
Even more amusing was Douglas Crockford putting a clause in his software license saying it may not be used "for evil". A bit of tongue-in-cheek humor referencing George Bush, but actually ended up causing a bit of a headache for some orgs, and the GNU Project declaring it a non-free license [2]
