hey this nerd said in the license file I can't use his software in my bombs...welp better find some other software which supports my cause. >They should have the right to restrict its use. the reason why it's not recognized by FOSS is because the idea he's building is one on restrictions, one restriction will lead to another, to another and end up being discriminatory itself, then controlled by the same minded people on all topics. I'd say more good than harm has been done by FOSS, and I'd rather go on the premise that my fellow humans will do good than harm, than sit around wasting time trying to fight the phantom user who will use it for the wrong purposes. (i wonder if this is written from his mac book pro) >Many software licenses disallow use in a nuclear facility, for example. why? nuclear power is a great asset! not that I'd hope nuclear facilities use some rando's open source code...but this is the start of the rabbit hole "restrictions" start to create >I think many software developers would feel the same way. hmm i doubt it! I don't care of my library is used to end the world, I hope its not... but if someone was going to make some world ending technology, i doubt my library is holding them back. So I won't waste precious seconds of my life thinking about it, nor will I be naive to think a license will stop them. I feel like this is an activism akin to the people who sit in the middle of busy intersections about oil. The only people you will turn off are people who might have supported the cause. >There are questions here about the rights of software authors If I am so concerned about my rights being imposed on others, I would not use a FOSS license. These type of people so want to shoehorn their ideals onto FOSS that they are blinded by the fact that they can create their own thing... But they won't be cause it wont have the weight that FOSS does because "I think many software developers would feel the same way" is simply untrue. They are trying to leech on to the good work and good will of others for their own gain, becoming what they despise.
