This is a great point, and perhaps we do need a new popular license or set of variants that exclude certain industries. "MIT-Peaceful" perhaps.

I know very many people who would refuse to work for certain companies and in certain industries — and have rejected certain projects — but would happily contribute to something MIT licensed that would end up in those systems anyway!

There are two licenses that include restrictions like that that I know of:

- https://firstdonoharm.dev/

Such a license would not be considered open source or Free Software.
