I'm not arguing for or against that oath, but that would 100% kill Open Source dead the minute it becomes a requirement. Absolutely no one would share their code if they could be held responsible for its misuse.

Yep. How much do you want to bet that the Chinese surveillance systems that target the Uighur run on some version of Linux? I bet that they have some parts that are written Python, Java, Javascript, C or C++ for which they use an open source compiler.
