Stop GlovePIE from being unusable in Israel

To:  Carl Kenner, Creator of GlovePIE

We, the Undersigned feel that your license for "GlovePie" is unfair to citizens of Israel: "You may not export this software to Israel, or use it in Israel (including the occupied territories), until Israel has ended its occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Syria, and anywhere else it may occupy. If you try to run it in Israel it will give you an error." The community of WiiLi is supporting an open-source project yet you are discriminating against a specific country. This also hinders the development of Nintendo Wii-related scripts for use with pcs. We also feel that the disclaimer on the GlovePIE wiki page "You may not use this software on military bases, or for military purposes, or in Israel (a terrorist state that bullies Muslim nations)" is slander. The conflict in the Middle-East is not one way and there are as many terrorist organizations in Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Jordan as there are crooked and aggressive politicians in Israel which have done their share of kidnapping, murder, and pointless wars and regularly attack each other. The Undersigned ask that you remove the ban on Israel and punish the author of the slanderous WiiLi wiki disclaimer "Suppy". A boycott like this achieves nothing but hate inside a small community like WiiLi and goes against everything Nintendo intended the Wii to stand for.
Note:You do not have to be a citizen of Israel to sign this petition. Anyone who feels this rule is unfair can sign it.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
