Comment on Ask HN: Software licensing excluding military use?

Comments

I'm seeing a lot of people throwing around "definitions" and "authorities" of what constitutes free or open source software in here. I disagree with them. You are ethically in the right to want to keep your work from being used in such a way. I don't know of any licence that as this provision in a legally enforceable way, but I hope you find it. I really like the thought,

You are ethically in the right to want to keep your work from being used in such a way.

But then it is not open source or free software anymore - since this violates freedom 0.
