Guess it's not first time when Linux facilitates mass murder and misery, or of course, ahem national defense.
What a shame. GPL should have a clause "do no evil".
- rosser 13y agoThe GPL will never have a "do no evil" clause. Such a thing is un-enforceable, and directly conflicts with "Freedom 0". For example, the JSON license is deemed to be non-Free by the FSF because "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."

- vacri 13y agoSuch a clause is trivial to get around, and is exactly how the US argues for its massive military budget: "This is for defense, not offense. Therefore good". Who do you then appeal to in order to stop them?
