I find this appealing on one hand but on the other, hard to imagine useful software that can’t be used by bad people, or a license + enforcement thereof that really only excludes bad uses

Maybe there really are certain uses or features that tend more toward justice, but unintended consequences are likely

Twitter was created after the example of TXTMob, a tool used to coordinate direct action against the RNC in New York City. Those devs were creating software for a social justice purpose, look what we have now

Only a jealously proprietary closed institution that offers software only to select, “just” users could really enforce a coherent vision of just use of their software ... but would they actually be just?

It doesn’t seem impossible but it doesn’t seem likely either
