The idea of Italy as a very specific place is much older than Italy as an independent, unified nation state though. A famous example from Dante’s Inferno: «Sì com’a Pola presso del Carnaro, ch’Italia chiude e i suoi termini bagna» (Inferno, Canto IX, 113-114).

Maybe, but evil vs good is very subjective and leads to paradoxes like the “anti-capitalist software license” not being usable by one of the most popular examples of anti-capitalism in history, namely the CNT militias in revolutionary Catalonia.

With remarkable consistency across space and time, those lists have historically grown from “the capitalists” to “their allies” to “the counter-revolutionaries” to “the enemies of The People“ to “the enemies of The Party”
One thing the human race should have learned from history is that once you start restricting individual freedom, you know where you begin but you don't know where you end.
You don't want corporations to use your software, fine, fuck Google. Then one day you find out that the police may use the software, so you add "law enforcement" to the list of fields of endeavor you want to restrict.
Then it's the military, and that's where the definitions get tricky. The "Cooperative Nonviolent Licenses", just as an example, would have probably not been usable by the Anarchist Confederal militias in the Spanish Civil War.
A think tank promoting nuclear energy uses the license, is that fine? How about a neo-nazi nonprofit?
Soon enough the list of groups you don't like is gonna get long.
If you’re using - say - Debian all over your infra, introducing a whole new OS just for the bastions increases complexity without bringing any significant advantage.
