"Don't be Evil" is outdated. Now it's "Do the right thing".

Do the right thing
To get us another deal
Sometimes it's a bit evil
Sometimes just a bit shady
And don't you ever worry
If we cancel anything it will be Hangsout, Play Music, Timely and Poly

Suddenly the JSON license doesn't appear that problematic.

It still appears as problematic as ever to me because a judge is pretty much the last person I would trust to decide what is and isn't evil.
I can't even imagine how a hypothetical well-intentioned judge who wanted to apply that provision correctly would proceed. The judge would basically have to choose between imposing their own personal view on good and evil or declaring the provision nonjusticiable.
Maybe the license could include a mandatory arbitration clause with an arbitrator who shares the author's values, but that still sounds like a terrible idea.

Still does. Nobody wants to be beholden to what one guy's definition of "evil" would be this morning. That doesn't mean ethics does not exist. It's just not done through copyright licensing.

That just invites the question “for who?”.
