    Free/libre software is not the same as open source, but I agree that it is difficult to enforce prohibitions with source available.

      No, I mean that item number 6 of the Open Source Definition specifically states you cannot restrict the use of the software for any particular field or endeavor. That includes use in military applications.

      If you have restrictions like that in your license, it’s not open source.
