George is focusing his talk on the threats of technologies. technology will move forward, no doubt. what ethical measures can help to guide the ascent of new technology? a new social contract is needed. apparently there are licenses that go beyond the GNU GPL to enforce desired behavior in a more diverse field.
The Hacktivismo Enhanced-Source Software License Agreement (HESSLA) is a software source license that tries to put restrictions of ethical conduct on use and modification of the software.i never really considered licenses as a moral imperative. dunno if these efforts will go anywhere, it seems they will have a hard time as i believe law is a bad tool to shape human behavior.
