The more I think about this, the more important it seems. JUSTICE, not FREEDOM, is what I want from software. Freedom could be a means, but is not the end.https://twitter.com/lizthegrey/status/1172926347603259392 …

Replying to @sarahmei
In practical terms, does this mean I apply a license to my software that not only grants freedom but also specifies certain ways my software can’t be used to harm others?

The jsmin license specifies that software covered by it can’t be used for evil. What constitutes evil is an open question. There’s no reason why evil couldn’t be replaced with particular activities or purposes. Whether or not that would deliver Justice is dependant on viewpoint.

I'm inclined to include accumulation of informational advantage under evil, as well as business models predicated on information arbitrage.
