1. Put said line in license: The following license shall not be granted to the following entities or any subsidiary thereof due to their collaboration with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE").... 2. Hosts said code on Github 3. Github is owned fully by Microsoft 4. Repo invalidates itself due to using free goods paid in part by ICE, thereby becoming a subsidiary.
These moves are frustrating. I just want to make neat stuff. I don't want to get involved in the politics of a country I have no interest in.
This is a ridiculous thing to put in a software license and a completely toxic subject in general.
> completely toxic subject I agree about "completely toxic". But it's the policy that's completely toxic, not the subject. I mean, separating babies from their parents? That is just fucking insane.
When you include the context where they need to verify that it's not human trafficking and that children are separated from their parents every day when the parents are arrested for any other crime, it's not quite as insane.
Slightly off-topic, but: anyone know where I can find a solid debate / discussion on the political issues raised by illegal immigration in the U.S.? My own views lean pretty strongly towards one end of the spectrum, and I simply can't understand why people would hold the opposite views. So I suspect I'm missing something.

Yes, when you phrase something without context it's easy to make it sound insane. When you include the context where they need to verify that it's not human trafficking and that children are separated from their parents every day when the parents are arrested for any other crime, it's not quite as insane.
Edit: And what really freaks me about this is what's likely over the next few decades. As global climate change disrupts marginal economies, and migration volumes increase hugely. We're basically looking at concentration camps.
Edit: Some prisons now allow mothers to keep their children.

sub·sid·i·ar·y /səbˈsidēˌerē/ a company controlled by a holding company.
it'd certainly be one for the courts to decide. that is, if this little stunt doesn't kill this repo and this branch.

honestly, im not exactly sure how that would work since the GH license does allow them complete nontransferrable ownership of code you keep there. it'd certainly be one for the courts to decide. that is, if this little stunt doesn't kill this repo and this branch.
Here's what GitHub actually says:
