Treefinder Revokes Software License For Users In Immigrant-Friendly Nations
dotancohen writes: The author of bioinformatics software Treefinder is revoking the license to his software for researchers working in eight European countries because he says those countries allow too many immigrants to cross their borders, effective 1 October. The author states, "Immigration to my country harms me, it harms my family, it harms my people. Whoever invites or welcomes immigrants to Europe and Germany is my enemy."
Racist gene sequencing software.
Everything about this article suggests some raving idiot sitting in the dark lamenting how the world won't adhere to his bullshit beliefs.
Which probably means he has a low user ID number on /.
He can't see the forest despite the treefinder.

Interesting. I'd like to mod you up, but instead I'll add that this is another argument against DRM'ed software: It could be administered by a racist asshole who will revoke your license because your country's government did something he didn't like.
