MIT 3 Laws License (MIT-3-LAWS)

This is a modified MIT license that adds the following text paraphrased from Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics".

This software may not be used to injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

This is intended to restrict robotics using software licensed with the MIT 3 Laws License from intentionally harming human beings. It has currently undergone no legal review.
