Then ISTM that whoever releases software which patently

The conclusion of that slippery slope is that then you should not release
any software at all under any kind of license, because if you're going
for criminal purposes, what's the point of respecting copyright? :)
But stating in the README file "The authors do not condone usage of this
software for larceny" is totally different.
I don't know about "totally", but certainly that's different.
It's totally because it's not the license.
Does every thread on Fedora _have_ to become an argument? I agreed
