Former police sergeant Simon Ince claimed he had been jogging and was merely wringing sweat from his clothes after horrified dog walkers spotted him in the nude.

The Free Software Foundation's Licensing and Compliance Manager published a blog post this week to explicitly state that"Responsible AI" Licenses (RAIL) are nonfree and unethical. The licenses restrict AI and ML software "from being used in a specific list of harmful applications," according to the license's web site, "e.g. in surveillance and crime prediction." (The license's steering committee is volunteers from multiple academic institutions.) But even though Responsible AI licenses are marketed as addressing ethical challenges, the FSF argues "they do not require anything that is really necessary for users to control their computing done with machine learning, including: complete training inputs, training configuration settings, trained model, or — last, but not least — the source code of software used for training, testing, and running tools based on machine learning." Thus, RAILed machine learning can be, and most probably will be, unethical. Use restrictions do not prevent these licenses from being used to exercise power over users... RAIL contribute to unethical marketing of machine learning, again under the disguise of morally-loaded restrictions they purport to enforce. If we want software to help decrease social injustice, we should oppose licenses that restrict how software can be used. We should focus on effective ways of addressing injustices: government and community support for freedom-respecting tools and services; releasing programs under strong copyleft licenses; and entrusting copyrights to organizations that have the resources to enforce copyleft. Software freedom must be defended, not denied. More specifically, the more free software is out there, the more likely people will collaborate on tools and services that do not pose moral dangers and help solve existing ones. Free software also makes it more likely that users have real choices when looking for freedom-respecting ethical programs and tools based on machine learning. Denying people the freedom to a particular program, as RAIL or similar licenses would have it, prevents them from using such program for the common good.
