My inspiration was came from Douglas Crockford and the JSONlint[1] license.
Why not have a message? I mean if big-tech won't use my software because they legally think they might do evil with it, so be it.
Do I really want big-tech to wrap my software into a product and sell it for profit while not giving me a cent because what I did was share my code without strings attached?
I don't know. I would like to make this place just that little bit better and if if that's a license that makes folks think about what is evil, heck why not!

Or cautiously logical people who are probably doing good but don't have an absolute certainty that they are, which is probably the best way to live.
