missile is very ineffective ;)
Domain restrictive licensing is a bad idea even if it didn't make
software non-free (it does). Even for domains that you definitely
disagree with. Debian probably has lots written about that, if not
you should be able to find convincing arguments against it plenty of
places. It's one of those things that sounds like a good idea at
first glance, but really isn't.

Thank you for showing me the link(FSF) and the notice to read the
mailing list of Debian. Now i know why the Peaceful Open Source License
isn't used anywhere.
