That wouldn't be an open source license. Remember freedom #1 - free to be able to use in any manner for any purpose. That said there are actually a number of licenses that 'no evil' clauses in them; and IIRC there are licenses that forbid use by the US government; though a quick google failed me. But again, they aren't open source. --David On Mon, Jun 30, 2014 at 10:40 AM, McGovern, James <[email protected]> w= rote: > Has anyone ever explored creation of a license model that forbids the > Federal Government in using its software?
