Well, there's the license for Perl Build System, http://search.cpan.org/src/NKH/PerlBuildSystem-0.43.290/licence.txt
It's neither hateful nor funny, yet so useless as to be both hateful and funny (and I'm not referring to typos): > The restrictions, listed below, forbid the use of B<PBS> to certain > people or administrative entities the main developer (see L<Contact>) > doesn't want to donate his work to. > > The restrictions below are not exhaustive, nor are they limited in time > or version of B<PBS>. > > =head3 Non exhaustive > > The main author or might add to the list of restrictions at any time. Well, I don't want to use software where the license might without warning change and be applied retroactively. > You are forbiden to use B<PBS> if one of the following applies to you: > > =over 2 > > =item * You belong to any armed group (inclusive any nation's army). So if you are a citizen of a country with some form of mandatory service, you can't use it. What about police officers? Security guards? A campus walk service where the escorts have mace? > =item * You work for (or are) an armement designer, constructor, > producer, or saler. > > =item * You, are part or, work for an entity that directely produces work > or goods for any of the above. So that rules out government employees of most countries, employees of most major corporations (including major software firms), and even employees and students of most universities. > =back > > The limitation is for any use of B<PBS> in the frame of your work or > private life. What if you're part of an army in Worlds of Warcraft? If you belong to a medieval or historic battle re-enactment group? As much as I'm sympathetic to the author's aims, the state of the world is such that most people in the "developed" world are at least indirectly connected with the arms industry or military of some country.
