this is so meaningless

unbug commented 7 years ago

I heard those people who committed suicide only take about 5 minutes to make the decision. I believe any reminder within the 5 minutes could save their life.

The license is only a reminder. I hope an Open Sources License could be a better reminder for developers, it's special and just work for developers, we developers will keep it in mind, so it helps.

I hope you understand the idea of the license is to help developers self prevent suicide accident.

@unbug You may NOT know the meaning of license.

@jhdxr And I believe the message I want to deliver here is pretty clear. You might argue for the scope of license, but you should give it a minutes to think about we are all human being.

The idea of SAY NO TO SUICIDE PUBLIC LICENSE is came from "The JSON License - The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil" and "DON'T BE A DICK PUBLIC LICENSE". Also there are many "Not Evil" license out there, those license's idea are to deliver a message, a message that remind developers sth, and only developers care about it. When we're care about sth, it might be the thing remind us when we try to do sth.

e.g. One day a developer trying kill himself, suddenly he the license remind him "Hey man, have you try to get help from outside?". That's it.

I appreciate the effort but viewing a project's LICENSE file is the last thing a person about to commit suicide would do.

@fbm-static Keep it in mind is the license's expectation.
