Still, looking at the bigger picture, it feels entirely sensible to make a statement that your code shall not be used by people who hate you and want to destroy your way of life, even if it’s not *necessarily* legally enforceable.
- bigyabai 1y agoSensible? Sure, to a point. I'm queer, I write GPL software, I can't stop my software from being used by homophobes. But it doesn't cost me any sleep at the end of the night, even in a political wasteland like America. I'm willing to swallow the opportunity cost of "bad guys" using my software because the good outweighs it. I'm filling a need that might otherwise be occupied by a libertarian nutjob, fascist revolutionary or neocon bootlicker. And I sit there merging PRs with a smile because that's the image I want the world to remember my contributions by.
