The Hippocratic License: An Ethical Open Source License

I like it!

Corporations are not shy about sticking me with unethical, abusive, and even illegal terms. https://kotaku.com/french-court-says-valve-must-allow-steam-users-to-resel-1838259529

So, the more that some developers of FOSS software can cut into their profits (FOSS half the time being what the corporation's product is based upon or at least depends upon), the better. Examples of corporate products that are based upon FOSS: PS3, PS4. Examples of products that depend on FOSS in order to work: most video games (because they use open source file formats and libraries).

Ideally if Sony were to pull another stunt like pulling PS3 Linux support from machines already in the field, they would lose their license to the FOSS code that powers the underlying console itself, because it's a violation of the ethical use terms.
