: Well, there have been licenses like that, in various forms. For instance, [http://java.dzone.com/articles/jsonorg-license-literally-says JSON.org license states “the Software shall be used for Good, not Evil”]. However, this is generally not considered “free”, as free-license definitions usually forbid such limitations, e.g. [http://opensource.org/osd.html the Open Source Definition] contains the “No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor” clause. You are obviously free to design/use any such license, but you will be incompatible with most of what is generally considered “free licenses”. --[[User:Mormegil|Mormegil]] ([[User talk:Mormegil|talk]]) 12:03, 29 September 2014 (EDT) | : Well, there have been licenses like that, in various forms.
