fun fact: IBM asked for, and got, an exception from that clause.
I guess they'll use JSON when they're building the database to do the next holocaust.

Did they reveal what the evil task they were using it for was?
They make chips for missiles.
Knowing IBM, probably something to do with Nazis

Well, IIRC they did work with the Nazis to manage concentration camps and more

So do you use JSON for your endpoints?
No we use XML
Oh interesting why is that?
Uhhh.....no reason
The biggest problem with such a clause is that it is hard to define "evil", even if it seems clear to you. Some people think that abortion is evil, so are abortion clinics banned from Json? What about the military and weapon manufacturers? Killing is evil, but you all know how the discourse about the military as national heroes that can't be evil in the US goes. What about a service like X - is it evil? Can you define "evil" for a surveillance tool that brands itself as ad tech?
The clause also states that the product MUST be used for Good, which is a higher bar. I'd imagine most things JSON is used for are fairly morally neutral.

How does one address the paradox that, as JSON itself is evil, one cannot use it for evil?
(opinions may vary on the above; but it's mine, so nyah nyah.)
It's less evil than XML or YAML
YAML is evil.
Idk, I never used the weird advanced features of YAML, but the basics seems really nice for stuff you want people, especially non programmers, to edit. I generally default to YAML for config files.
XML is ok for complex docs where you have a detailed structure and relationships. JSON is good for simple objects. YAML is good for being something to switch to for the illusion of progress.

This is peak licensing
Spoilsports. Next they'll be telling me I can't use apple software in the development, design, manufacture, or production of nuclear, missile, or chemical or biological weapons.
Me buying my first IBM ThinkPad online:
IBM: are you planning to use this ThinkPad to produce weapons of mass destruction?
Me: I wasn't before, but now I'm curious

Wait I though the point of these post-opensource clauses (see also: anti-capitalist licence, WTFPL, etc.) was to scare off the big corporations lawyers and make sure your code won't end up in AWS or something like that? Are Linux distros the only actors who are still giving a shit about licencing?

OK but how can json have a license? I understand a particular json parser having a license, but how can a specification, which contains no code, even be considered "software"?
The screenshot clearly is not talking about the json text file format, but a PHP extension called json.
Yes, but the "shall be used for Good, not Evil" part is part of the json license, not the PHP extension? https://json.org/license
Where do I report Twitter?

The FSF also lists any software as non-free which uses the beer license (use the software in any way you want, and should you ever meet the author, pay them a beer).

Everybody gangsta with the "don't be evil" clause until the authors turn out to be a nutjob who thinks trans people are blights against God and must be exterminated.
I doubt (or at least hope) that that's not what they think, but hopefully that illustrates why the clause is dumb.
