<div dir="ltr">This precludes discrimination against illegal
activities, either in the source or user jurisdiction, right?
Has this ever been tested in court? (E.g. an open source library

<p>I liken it to the US Constitution's guarantee of free speech. You
can talk about things, even illegal things, even saying exactly
how to do them, as long as you have no concrete plans to do them
(the latter being "conspiracy"). Same thing for software. Software
is speech as well as being a tool.<br>
