Just wondering, is there any provision in any OSS license (or scope to add one) that prevents the code being used in any DRM software or firmware?

I know it wouldn't act retrospectively, and I'm not sure if any OSS libraries are actually in use in any DRM software, but it may at least set a trend. I'd love to see the next open source game changer be open to all except those who oppose openness :-)



No, by definition, since that would no longer be Open Source.
