MODERATORS
Easy, because they want the social credibility of being open source, but also later, when the project gets big, they want to dictate exactly who uses it and how.
If you care about how your software is used to this degree -- don't open source it! Every open source package I have ever made has come with a permissive license, because I want people to be able to use it however they wish. That's actual freedom. Unfortunately, a subset of "however they wish" can also be "used to bomb Gaza", but that is the cost of liberty and freedom. You have to take the good with the bad.
I don't know if "freedom to modify source code" and "committing a genocide" are morally comparable. This seems to undermine your point. I would have picked a different analogy
That doesn't undermine my point, that proves my point. Making something "FREE" (as in libre) comes with the consequence that people can use it for whatever they want. I assume you don't agree with bombing Gaza, hence it is a perfect example of "freedom" leading to poor outcomes.
