Have you had a chance to talk to @maybekatz about this? Might be helpful to brainstorm together :)

I'm down if she's interested

What do you think about licensing that tries to embed ethics like restrictions on human rights abusers?

I take the advice of more qualified folks here, which is that licenses are the wrong place for that buuuut... One thing I like about @LicenseZero is that I might choose to just not sell licenses to unethical entities, which is something I'd like to explore

What other mechanisms do we have for embedding ethical restrictions into usage of our software, besides licenses?

I don't know if embedding in the licenses themselves will work, but embedding them into the license sale might?

But how can that apply to free software?

By creating two worlds: one for the community, available for free, and one available to corporate overlords, available for pay and consent. I don't believe permissive licenses or even most free software licenses can create this split though
