Added link to the public version of the iTunes license

When you look at the current market, there are already licenses that have stipulations about what the software might be used for.

  • Apple has a stipulation in their iTunes license which says you're not allowed to use it to develop nuclear weapons.
  • the game Far Cry 2 has a stipulation in the license that you're not allowed to use it contrary to morality or laws in force.
  • WordWeb has a license which states you're not allowed to use the free version if you've taken more than 3 flights in the past 12 months.

There are probably a number of other licenses that have similarly weird clauses. So a license that discriminates based on ethical grounds would not be the first time a license has a weird stipulation..
