Comment on Ask HN: Is it legal for a software license to have terms based on race and sex?parent

Comments

Some states have included sexual orientation as a protected class. Not sure how that would work with a software license though. But if state law says a customer walking into a store can't be discriminated against based on sexual orientation, I would think it would transfer to a software license in some way. If not I am sure there is some attorney somewhere looking to make a name for themselves that would be happy to make an attempt.
