But there is one fundamental problem with your approach: It will never work. You can write anything you want in your license but that doesn't mean that you will be able to enforce what you wrote. And I'm not aware of any way to restrict the field of use of software while respecting the Open Source Definition. Question for the wider group: Can you point me to a document (legal or otherwise) that argues the unenforceability of ethical clauses, like these ones? thanks stef
