any

Details

i am not agree with what you say in your tems of use... basically you say whoever use this software must believe russians are evil, and i dont think so... i think that trying politicize software goes far beyond against spirit of free software, because you are imposing restrictions, as richard stallman also had said

i am not saying russians are angels, but certainly things are not so binary actually... according the information from both sides i SEARCHED and ANALYZED MYSELF (besides which flooded by cnn, fox, bbc, reuters and other mass western media), russians felt forced to "invade" ukranie ("invasion" itself is a term generated by western media) because according their intelligence, they discovered NATO (which ukranie is not part of) were amassing weapons to be launched against russia NEXT DAY, so they had no choice... but nobody knows because nobody talks about it because are taboo

i am also not against ukanian people... wars are catastrophic for whoever people of whahever side... powerful people play their games according their caprices while people suffer the consecuences, without they even considering us

that said... until i am really interested in this software, i won't download as i don't think russians are evil, but instead i believe unfortunately ukranians are more victims of your own current corrupt government and his allies.... for same reason, i DO however SUPPORT UKRANIAN PEOPLE

Steps to reproduce

read lightbulb ToU
believe russians are not as bad as they had no other choice to stop his own invasion urgently
download and install lightbulb anyway

@atesin The wording of

By using this project or its source code, for any purpose and in any shape or form, you grant your implicit agreement to all the following statements:

is indeed a requirement.

From the license

c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged.

(From 7)

Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. … All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.

(From 10)

(A part about how the rights propagate)

You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.

@Tyrrrz If part of the appeal is keeping your livelihood, keeping with the license is a good idea.

https://github.com/Tyrrrz/.github/blob/master/docs/why-so-political.md (Q: Do you realize that these terms don't align with the open source definition?

A: Yes. I don't care. My own livelihood is more important than arbitrary open source ideals.)

For anyone that contributes meaningfully to any project (work that is copyrightable) they get non-arbitrary (legal) rights. GitHub can't allow themselves to be a platform for breaking the GPLv3. You can trash anyone as much as you want before you get to what GitHub dictates. The problem is requiring of others to do the same.

Politics in software EULAs should NOT be a thing.
