> It is because qualifying the evil is best done out of the license
The example in case does not qualify what counts as evil, only that it bans evil. It thus leaves it to others, outside of the license, to qualify evil when they determine how the license applies. Thus the license the FSF rejects does what you claim should be done.
>The DFSG doesn't prevent you from doing evil with a free software and face the postjudicial consequence at all.
It does suggest not using licenses that would increase the legal consequences of doing such evil.
>because 8chan was blamed because it didn't even acknowledge the post-judgement.
Does encryption acknowledge the post-judgment of all the evil it enables?
