Does anybody here know of an open source project that - while using a traditional license - enforces other social rules or makes political, ethical or social norms for the intended use of the project explicit and has any forms of consequences for disobedience?

Think: "This project fundamentally disagrees with capitalism, Bug reports by Amazon employees will not be answered" or whatever social "contract" you can imagine.

Not looking for projects that just say "please only use us in a certain way" but has some form of enforcement going that's not tied to licensing.

Not a traditional license, but this project has explicit political goals: code.tesio.it/p/self-hosting/d

It doesn't need to enforce them: anyone using the software structurally contribute to the goal unless you run it on servers (but that would be a pointless waste of money).

The it adopts has a few political goals too, but more subtle.
