For starters, objecting to the anti-criminality clauses seems paranoid. Granted, if you're a human rights organization under a hostile government, maybe you need to worry about this. But otherwise, what is the problem? Does one really need the ability to write viruses with Datomic? WTF?

Can you point to any specific examples of the extortionate behavior you describe? I imagine some companies cry extortion when they get nailed for genuine infringement (e.g., lots of unlicensed installs), but I would like to see an example where a software vendor went truly tyrannical on a customer that was actually using the software as agreed and intended.
