You can FINALLY use JSHint for evil
from Changelog Interviews
Today we welcome Mike Pennisi into our Maintainer Spotlight. This is a special flavor of The Changelog where we go deep into a maintainer's story. Mike is the maintainer of JSHint which, since its creation in 2011, was encumbered by a license that made it very hard for legally-conscious teams to use the project. The license was the widely-used MIT Expat license, but it included one additional clause: "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil." Because of this clause, many teams could not use JSHint. Today's episode with Mike covers the full gamut of JSHint's journey and how non-free licensing can poison the well of free software.
