Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing; The Hippocratic License: A new software license that prohibits uses that contravene the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights
"The Open Source Initiative maintains the canonical list of free/open licenses based on compliance with its Open Source Definition,
which excludes licenses that ""discriminate against any person or group
of persons" and that "restrict anyone from making use of the program in
a specific field of endeavor." On this basis, OSI cofounder Bruce
Perens says the Hippcratic License is not compatible with the OSD.
Ehmke calls the OSD "horribly dated" because it doesn't enable software
developers to ensure that "our technology isn't used by fascists.""
