смешной, кстати, кекс

In 2002, in reference to President George Bush's war on "evildoers", Crockford started using a custom non-free license, which he created by adding the requirement "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil" to the open source MIT License for his JSMin software. This clause was carried over to JSMin-PHP, a variation of JSMin by Ryan Grove. This software was hosted on Google Code until December 2009 when, due to the additional clause, Google determined that the license was not compliant with the definition of open source software, which does not permit any restriction on how software may be used.[11][12] JSMin-PHP was forced to migrate to a new hosting provider.[13][14]
Crockford's license is intended to mock potential users of his software[15] and has caused problems for some open source projects who mistook the license for an open source variant of the MIT license. This has inspired criticism of Crockford from affected open source developers as recently as January 2014.[16][17][18] Crockford is reported to be aware of the legal implications of his license and has refused to change the license terms despite numerous requests.[19] He does, however, grant "IBM, its customers, partners, and minions" an exclusive license "to use JSLint for evil".[20]
