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.

    C’mon, person. That was a lousy attempt at sounding smart.

      Open source doesn’t just mean access to the source code.

      Literally the first sentence on the linked page.
