A set of licenses, based on the GPL, with additional clauses to prevent the use of the software for nefarious purposes.

EDIT: After some issues raised, I am rebasing the license on the Apache License 2.0 and taking more care in keeping it open.

EDIT 2: I’ve rebased it. I plan to submit it to OSI as soon as my law student friend has a look at it.

    But it does restrict making use of the program in specific fields of endeavor. That’s the entire point of the license. I would e.g. not be able to use it in a business that sells hate speech literature.

      Yeah, that’s why I shared it with OP 🙂. I’m pretty sure that between the two clauses I quoted in this thread that his licence does not meet the OSI definition.
