New License Forbids Human Rights Violations?

Posted by michael on from the worth-the-paper-it-is-printed-on dept.

KjetilK writes "A new license published by Hacktivismo, builds on Free Software licenses but adds clauses to "promote fundamental human rights of end-users". For those deeply involved in politics, this is a good idea, but Free Software Licenses have traditionally placed no restrictions on use." There's a news article about this as well.

    Yeah buy Amnesty are not interested in improving human rights, only promoting their own political agenda.

    Oh boy, you are SO right...

    "Amnesty International's vision is of a world in which every person enjoys all of the human
    rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human
    rights standards. Our mission is to undertake research and action focused on preventing and
    ending grave abuses of the rights to physical and mental integrity, freedom of conscience and
    expression, and freedom from discrimination, within the context of our work to promote all
    human rights."

    Complete BASTARDS, aren't they?!

    ...and you just know those facists in HUMAN RIGHTS organistations world-wide, are
    going to use this SOFTWARE LICENSE, to exploit the third world.
