Please consider adding an Anti 996 License

Please consider adding an Anti 996 License to jointly oppose overtime work around the world.

A "996" work schedule refers to an unofficial work schedule (9a.m. ~ 9p.m., 6 days a week) that has been gaining in popularity. Serving a company that encourages the "996" work schedule usually means working for at least 60 hours a week.

It is a great progress from closed source to open source, and it will also be a great progress from open source to emphasize labor rights at the same time. What we want is to create an open source software license that advocates for workers' rights.

Jack Ma endorses China's controversial 12 hours a day, 6 days a week work culture

Under this so terrible environment in China, the Chinese developers contributed too much to these companies, but they got unfair payments, they have no time to advance
their technologies.
These companies made heavy use of open source products to build their business, they benefited too much, but they contributed nothing valuable to the open community.
Due to political policies, the Chinese developers can do nothing to fight this, if some big projects such as GCC, Linux, MySQL etc accept the Anti 996 License, some changes may happen.
We need your help!
