The Hippocratic License (HL3) is an ethical source license that specifically prohibits the use of open source software to violate universal standards of human rights.

Healthy open source communities don’t just form around code, but also around shared values and a vision for how their work can improve the world. The true measure of the success of open source is its impact— how the technologies we develop are leveraged to bring about positive social, cultural, and political change.

    Next time someone bothers me to change my license to a permissive one, I might dual license to HL3 (minus the copyleft module) just for a laugh. Have fun complying with HL3-BDS-BOD-ECO-EXTR-FFD-LAW-MEDIA-MIL-MY-SOC-SUP-SV-TAL-USTA-XUAR.
