I'd rather not a single person use my software than that a single person were killed using my software.
And this is not a theoretical argument, either: There are missiles running GPL'd software out there.
An exchange on the online bird web site has reminded me:
I really find the ideological opposition to limitations on use of open source software to be odious and shortsighted.
Like, if I thought for a second that my software would be used to kill people, I would put a usage limitation on the license so fast you'd need a high-speed camera to see it. And I would not give two shits if that was not ideologically acceptable to open source advocates.

There's this seafood place that has a "rice bowl" takeout thing attached to it and I can't give it up because they basically serve tuna bibimbap even though they're very careful to never call it that. Like, I'm kind of shocked they actually list "kim chi" as an ingredient rather than "fermented cabbage", but still.
Hmm, SOMA is $7.50 on GoG right now. Should I pick it up? I'd probably play it with that horribly-named "wuss mode" mod.

By the way, while I'm looking for a citation for my contribution to the previous political discussion --
The full text of On Revolution by Hannah Arendt is on the Internet Archive at https://archive.org/stream/OnRevolution/ArendtOn-revolution_djvu.txt
It's not pretty to read without a djvu viewer, but it's all there and I highly recommend anyone interested in revolution politics or insurgency warfare give it a read.
Hey so, there's been a bit of a kerfuffle with Patreon lately after a terms of service change that threatens all sex workers
There's now an open letter to Patreon to please not do that http://www.openlettertopatreon.com/
The idea of folks losing their livelihood overnight for reasons I cannot see as justified is terrifying, and there's no Patreon alternative either.
Be the person in the fallout shelter smugly reminding everyone that electoral politics can't change anything that you want to see in the world.
The best 30 Rock joke is when Jack talks about meeting Jaleel White: "Incredibly charismatic. He makes Stefan Urquelle look like Steve Urkel."
