I think it might be useful if this hippocratic license could be tagged onto licenses other than BSD, as the question of copyright restrictions is separate from the question of ethical reuse.

I almost wonder if there could be a way of denoting "open source copyright-related license" + hippocratic license, some shorthand notation like -H, for example, BSD-H, or (H), for example, MPL 2.0 (H)?

This is of interest to me as well -- the ability to release software under other licenses, in particular more restrictive copyleft licenses, but with the No Harm clause (and the Services and Enforceability clauses) attached.

@6a68 Agreed! This would be great.

BSD-Hippocratic 1.3 will most likely be released on Monday!

Yes, absolutely! Off the top of my head, I'm thinking a GPLv3-H with the Freedom 0 dropped. No idea if that is feasible but I can dream 💃. I basically just want to have protection against sublicensing which leads to undesirable usage or privatisation (see #42)
