MIT License + No Military Use

Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy

Explanation of the No Military Use Clause
This meaning of this phrase includes any use by a military, not just for
combat. It also includes work by contractors explicitly for a military.
Example Use
You may incorporate this code into your own products so long as those products
are not primarily for military use. If you use this code in a drafting program
and the military used it, this would be permitted use. If you used it in a
drafting program for nuclear submarines, this would be a prohibited use.
Developing a general use program, product or piece of software and then
actively selling or marketing that program, product or software to a military
organization would be a violation of the No Military Use clause.
OSI / FSF
The MIT + No Military Use License is not OSI or FSF approved. Users of the
MIT + No Military Use License believe that software development is not a
neutral act. In addition users believe that software development imposes a
responsiblity on developers to consider the consequences of the use of their
software and a responsibility to prevent its misuse. The unlimited freedoms of
use codified by the OSI and FSF are incompatible with this view and are
violated by this license.
