Zeit should have been written in Zug *badums Jokes aside this looks Like a very neat tool. I will check it out definitely.

Took me a bit to find to figure out what Zeit is: "Zeit, erfassen. A command line tool for tracking time spent on tasks & projects."

Anyone else remember when Vercel was called Zeit? Thought this was related somehow. I loved that branding for them.

  Yes, I thought this was a v1 of their early code.

The license ([1], based on [2]) prohibits use by law enforcement agencies (of any kind), tax collection agencies, suppliers and contractors of law enforcement agencies, the military, multinational corporations that participate in mass surveillance programs (only multinational ones for some reason??), and any entity offering goods or services whose supply chain involves any such entities. Among other categories! On my reading, the wording is ambiguous as to whether it includes use by employees of these entities, or only by the entities themselves. Either way, it would seem to put anyone in violation who has ever distributed a copy of any large open source project (e.g. Linux kernel), since the "processes involved in the production" of those projects involve large companies that have violated various of the provisions. In practice this software seems to be usable only by people who do not take license compliance seriously.

  In TFA the author states that it "won’t have any practical impact for the average user" but it would surprise me if the average user didn't violate at least one of those terms. I found an article that (uncited) claims that 75% of the US has admitted to littering at least once in the last 5 years, which violates 3.1.16 (maintaining a license requires "ongoing compliance")
