I think this license is a little misguided, but the license is the perogative of the author.
I just want to say that I've worked for large corporations, and while within them, I've used and learned from free and open source software. I has also given me the ability to get jobs other places. The license allowed it because I was the user, and power was given to me.
If I had used software with some other license, there might be restrictions on my use of the software because of where I worked (I am not a lawyer) and I would probably not use it.
Anyway the point is, there's are specifics to calling software FOSS, and it puts no restrictions on the USER of the software to USE it. If it restricts the user, it's not FOSS.
This isn't going to make anything better, except perhaps the size of your ego.
Open-source isn't the reason the world is in a dismal state, in fact it was doing a fairly good job of addressing the world's overt shift toward authoritarianism in the 20th century until folks like you, who think that there are legitimate stipulations on freedom, came along and gave the war mongers the rhetoric they need to again take our rights away completely.
Congratulations, you are officially a part of the problem, and your too smug to even care I bet.
Especially in light of some rather ... unpleasant ... comments here, let me just point out this bit from their profile:

Maybe something to consider before going off on rants accusing people of being a war mongering authoritarian. Which you shouldn't do regardless, but especially not here.
Sometimes this community really embarrass me ... this is one of those moments.
