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.

    Everyone has the right to work,

    Bullshiznit. A job's a privilege, NOT a right. While I hope he doesn't, my boss can, and should be able to, fire me at will...

    I have the "right" to go find another job...
