For one piece of software, maybe. Now imagine what happens when a lot of open source software does the same thing. It would become impossible to use open source software of that kind because there is no way that you will be able to satisfy many different groups of people each with their own points of view on what is moral or not, at the same time.

On top of that, even if all the groups shared the same views you’d still need to suddenly spend a lot of time understanding each group before you used their software, and you’d need to continue to keep an eye on their views to ensure you are complying.

Thanks but I will stick to the plain old open source licenses like ISC, MIT, GPL, and Apache.
