You're not entirely wrong, but looking at things this way will take you down the wrong path. The big question here is who decides what is right and wrong? Is it the author of JSHint? Is the the random dev tasked with adding a lintier to a project? Is it the lawyer who's vetting the organization's licenses?

Ultimately, these questions of how we translate morality into a system of rules, that we use to punish people, shouldn't be decided by a few technical experts, but by the everyone, and we already have a system for that.
