   I've always been a bit uncomfortable with freedom 0 of the four essential freedoms in the free software definition. If I realize that my free software is being used to commit digital sex crimes, for example, I would want to stop it, but the GPL doesn't allow me to do that.

     Permissive software licenses, represented by the MIT License, share the same problem and are therefore not an alternative to the GPL for me.

     @Unn0wn Well, I guess that's true. I think I picked the wrong example.

     I don't want my software to be used for things that aren't yet legislated but could be called unethical, like websites that advocate racism.

     @hongminhee Commiting digital sex crime is already illegal so you don't need a license for that. Criminals also won't give a shit about your license since they already commit crimes.
