That's a decision for each individual developer to make.

Some folk tried to create a pacifist version of the GPL[1].

Others are using the RMPL (RobotGroup-Multiplo-Pacifist-License)[2] - basically a MIT license, but with a restriction that bans military projects.

The irony being that the government isn't strictly bound by copyright or licensing terms. They can and have violated them as needed.

I generally agree with this, which is why I find the idea of a "developer's code" somewhat ridiculous.
