That's just one example what happens in our communities. Very seldom a
license gets malevolently offended, most of the times they are
accidently offended and those who do it are usually willing to fix their
mistakes. Sometimes there is trouble for absolutely nothing. 

At other times the license itself does cause the issue. Some Linux
music software coders have written, that they don't allow that their
software is used for religious or racist things, but i don't remember
which project it is. 
Something that affects Ubuntu is the linuxsampler issue.

I already posted the link to the frontend package, without an available
package for the backend: http://packages.ubuntu.com/yakkety/qsampler

This is the reason:

It's available by the official Arch Linux repositories and once it was
also available by Debian/Ubuntu repositories, too. Arch Linux calls the
license/s "GPL custom:exception", but a GPL with an exception actually
isn't a GPL anymore.
