All we need is to find an appropriate thesis which shows good and evil do not exist or that good and evil are overlapping variables. If good can be evil in context and the equivalent event evil not good then there is no problem as the license negates itself. I say that it is moral to accept his software as sufficiently free and save discussions of morality for the pub, where real philosophy occurs.

Not only that, it is a vague use restriction, where the definitions of good and evil are not defined in the terms of the license. Upstream needs to take one of the following actions for this to be okay for Fedora (in order of preference): 1. Drop that line entirely. 2. No, really. Drop that line entirely. Licenses are not the appropriate place for such joke text. 3. Change the line to read something like The software should be used for Good, not Evil. This makes it a suggestion, not a use-restriction. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review

Although it's something of a joke, the clause does render the license non-Free in the free software sense. If the license text can be relaxed slightly to be non-binding then it would be okay. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
