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 …

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.
"What constitutes evil" is an open question in all aspects of human social life - subject to courts, legislation, and private sanction. We won't be able to write a license and be done with it. A commitment to doing good is a commitment to continuous engagement with one another.
