This gave me a brilliant idea:
"Vladimir Putin, you are under arrest for war crimes."
"It was a special military operation! It was all the fault of the Nazis!"
"No, not for all that. You're under arrest for violating the GNU GPL! Prepare to meet your source, licencef*****!!!"
*blam* *blam* *blam*
This is peak licensing
Wait I though the point of these post-opensource clauses (see also: anti-capitalist licence, WTFPL, etc.) was to scare off the big corporations lawyers and make sure your code won't end up in AWS or something like that? Are Linux distros the only actors who are still giving a shit about licencing?
If you want to scare corporations use AGPL or, if you're feeling spicy, SSPL. Do not use WTFPL, it's too permissive.

AGPL policy: Don't use.
Exactly. It scares them.
Always were.
Big companies care too but only if their cya arm knows enough about software to actually enforce anything. A lot don't.
The biggest problem with such a clause is that it is hard to define "evil", even if it seems clear to you. Some people think that abortion is evil, so are abortion clinics banned from Json? What about the military and weapon manufacturers? Killing is evil, but you all know how the discourse about the military as national heroes that can't be evil in the US goes. What about a service like X - is it evil? Can you define "evil" for a surveillance tool that brands itself as ad tech?
The clause also states that the product MUST be used for Good, which is a higher bar. I'd imagine most things JSON is used for are fairly morally neutral.
Space cops
From my point of view, JavaScript is evil.
Every Villain Is Lemons
E.V.I.L
fun fact: IBM asked for, and got, an exception from that clause.
I remember when he told that story, it was something like this: one company which I don't want to name, so will just say it's initials - IBM. He also authorised usage for IBM "and it's minions".
So do you use JSON for your endpoints?
No we use XML
Oh interesting why is that?
Uhhh.....no reason
OK but how can json have a license? I understand a particular json parser having a license, but how can a specification, which contains no code, even be considered "software"?
The screenshot clearly is not talking about the json text file format, but a PHP extension called json.
Yes, but the "shall be used for Good, not Evil" part is part of the json license, not the PHP extension? https://json.org/license
