Hello,
I'm encountering a package licensed with the JSON License, which seems to be a MIT derivative with the additional clause of:
« The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil. »
https://spdx.org/licenses/JSON
What is the status of this license in Fedora? I think I recall an issue with a linting tool in Javascript with a similar clause and it was considered non- free.
Best regards,
Robert-André

The license is non-free. It is listed as "JSON License " among other "bad licenses" on licensing page [1] on the wiki. Its use in Fedora is not allowed.
