Technology should not be pursued for its own sake.
George is focusing his talk on the threats of technologies. technology will move forward, no doubt. what ethical measures can help to guide the ascent of new technology? a new social contract is needed. apparently there are licenses that go beyond the GNU GPL to enforce desired behavior in a more diverse field.

The Hacktivismo Enhanced-Source Software License Agreement (HESSLA) is a software source license that tries to put restrictions of ethical conduct on use and modification of the software.

i never really considered licenses as a moral imperative. dunno if these efforts will go anywhere, it seems they will have a hard time as i believe law is a bad tool to shape human behavior.
