New version, with the noteworthy changes underlined:
--
--------------------- COPYING -----------------------------------
Before using this software, every user is expected to read the
^^^^^^^^
statements in the file ETHICAL_LICENSE that comes with the fvwm
^^^^^^^^^^
distribution.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------- ETHICAL_LICENSE ---------------------------
Legally, fvwm is distributed under the terms of the GNU General
Public License. However, the events following the 11th of
September, 2001 and the multinational war against Iraq that began
in March 2003, made me reconsider the (lack of) ethical aspects of
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
the license. I can not ignore the fact that my work has a part in
^^^^^^^^^^^
killing people, no matter how small it may be.
[next sentence deleted]
No user of fvwm is bound to honour the following "ethical
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
licensing" terms. But please keep in mind that fvwm is developed
by volunteers in their free time. Blatant violation of these
terms by many people will not only demotivate me and possibly
^^^^^^^^
others, reducing the quality of future fvwm releases, but may also
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
end development completely.
Thank you for your attention

Ethical Use of the Fvwm Window Manager
--------------------------------------
1. You, as a user of fvwm, are expected to make a donation to a
non-government organization that must fulfil one of the following
conditions:
* It fights against all forms of war, regardless of the nations
involved.
* It engages for human rights world-wide, including the country
you live in.
The donation can be monetary, human labour, donation in kind or
any other form that helps. Any amount is accepted as long as it
lives up to the spirit of this license. I suggest a donation to
Amnesty International, but you are free to choose a different
organization.
2. You are expected to not use fvwm for work related to
* research of weapon technology,
* manufacturing of weapons,
* supporting, planning, preparing or executing wars and other
military actions, or acts of terrorism.
