Hacktivismo Enhanced-source Software License Agreement




The license was written by Oxblood Ruffin (of Hacktivismo and CULT OF THE DEAD COW ) and Eric Grimm , an Attorney with the EFF .

The HESSLA allows for enhancements to be made and for Derivative Work s to be created, but it prohibits the use or modification of the software to violate Human Rights or to introduce Features That Spy On The User . It is intended to be a legally enforceable document. However, due to these restrictions, it is not technically a Free Software License , though it was inspired by Free Software and Open Source licenses.

It has been criticized by open source and free software advocates.
