If you prevent licensing software to large corporations, small corporations won't use it, either, because small corporations may get acquired by large ones. Such a license would be a "poison pill".

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.

We picked the Boost license for the D Language Foundation because it is the closest to public domain we could find.

Besides, why would "bad guys" be deterred by a license, anyway?
