Eh. I don't really care what ~~the OSI~~ a handful of tech giants in a trenchcoat have to say about the ethics of my licenses.
If someone wants to allow modification, distribution, and usage of your software, in the spirit of open source, but don't want it to be used by organizations that bomb children, I'd consider that better than an Open Source™️ license.
I completely agree however in a situation like this, the only solution would be to never have any open source software for drones. You can put that limited license on your software, but come on, do you think a warring nation is going to concern themselves with that? The only solution is to not have open source software for things that can even be remotely used like this
If I were Ukraine I sure as shit wouldn’t care what license you have on it. If it’s available and I can easily use it without consequence, I would use it.
Yeah, i don't think any military will care about what restrictions you put in your license anyway. What are you going to do about it? Sue them?
Yeah, sadly they'll just use it. Or they'll pay a contractor who uses it and claims that they made it themselves.
Better to just roll over by default then, yeah /s
If you create a technology and make it publicly available you need to consider the possible uses and misuses. Misusers wont be held back by a license limitation. That is a simple fact of life.
Adopting that attitude toward anything is pretty self-defeating. It's the same bad argument used against gun regulations in the US: "only misusers will have guns".
Whether you agree with more or less regulations on anything, the "misusers will just do it anyway" is a bad argument.
The FSF is very much the opposite of "a handful of tech giants in a trenchcoat," yet they take the same position.
Yeah. The FSF is far from perfect as well.
