In many cases, software is like a tool. I provided a screwdriver: generally it's used for good, but sometimes it's used for assembling a bomb. By providing the screwdriver, I have no influence on how it's used. For me, it's important that most software I write is free software with few restrictions on its use. That way, I ensure that my screwdriver is available for all good purposed, even though I acknowledge that I cannot prevent it from being able to be used for evil. It's a tricky balance, but I trust that the good uses of new tools outweigh the evil. A war on screwdrivers won't prevent missiles targeting civilians.
