This software is made available to you under the following conditions
REGARDING USAGE:
(a) You may use this project for whatever noncommercial purposes you wish
provided it is not used for the purposes of justifying, legitimizing,
enabling, and/or enacting agendas of racial, religious, sexual, gender,
national, and/or ethnic supremacy, exclusion, and/or marginalization
(hereafter referred to as "hatred"); and also provided that it is not used
for purposes of justifying, legitimizing, enabling, and/or enacting
violence or harassment of any sort, on any grounds.
(b) Use of this product in furtherance of the legal criminal (but not
civil) defense of someone accused of a criminal act involving hatred
(regardless of whether or not the hatred itself is an element of the
crime), or with a history of involvement in hatred that is not relevant
to the act for which they are accused, by the attorney for the person
in question or the attorney's agents, shall not be considered an
usage of this product.
(c) Use of this product in furtherance of the activities of a public
library or library of an accredited educational institution that makes
available works of hatred for academic study shall not be considered an
impermissible usage of this product.
(d) You may use this product for commercial purposes, to facilitate
transactions and business operations provided (1) that such use does not
involve or aid hatred; (2) that this product does not constitute part or all
of the actual product or service being sold; and (3) provided that no
part of the organization is involved in the design, manufacture, or sale
of weaponry of any sort, or of provision of supplies or personnel for
military operations in peacetime or in war.
(e) Governments may use this product provided they do not do so for
military purposes or in the furtherance of involuntary and/or unwitting
surveillance of any person or group of persons.
REGARDING MODIFICATIONS:
Within the constraints of acceptable usage as specified above, you are
free to modify the contents of this project as you wish.
REGARDING DISTRIBUTING:
You are free to redistribute this project, both in the form you received
it as well as with any modifications, provided that you (a) provide credit
to the original author(s) as well as the author(s) of any modifications
you are distributing (except for those author(s) who have explicitly
requested otherwise); and (b) distribute the entire product, including any
modifications you have made, under this license.
Realistically, I highly doubt that this is the sort of thing that anyone involved
in any of the activities described above (or anyone else, for that matter) would
find any use for. Nevertheless, I have some serious concerns about the naive
understanding of "freedom" that seems to underpin most of the "free software"
discussion, which seems to me unconcerned with whether or not supposedly "free"
usage of software actually contributes to or works against a broader project of
creating a freer, more open and welcoming society for everyone. More than
anything else, this is my statement against that.
