Reminds me of the JSON / JSLint clause :) and the funny IBM story https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSLint https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSLint "The JSLint license is a derivative of the MIT License. The sole modification is the addition of "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil."" The story (transcript from a conference): "About once a year, I get a letter from a lawyer, every year a different lawyer, at a company – I don’t want to embarrass the company by saying their name, so I’ll just say their initials – IBM… [laughter] …saying that they want to use something I wrote. Because I put this on everything I write, now. They want to use something that I wrote in something that they wrote, and they were pretty sure they weren’t going to use it for evil, but they couldn’t say for sure about their customers. So could I give them a special license for that? Of course. So I wrote back – this happened literally two weeks ago – “I give permission for IBM, its customers, partners, and minions, to use JSLint for evil.” [laughter and applause] And the attorney wrote back and said: “Thanks very much, Douglas!”" http://dev.hasenj.org/post/3272592502/ibm-and-its-minions http://dev.hasenj.org/post/3272592502/ibm-and-its-minions That said, these kind of clauses do cause legal problems. https://www.change.org/p/douglas-crockford-remove-the-not-evil-clause-from-your-license-because-it-is-evil-itself https://www.change.org/p/douglas-crockford-remove-the-not-ev...
