## What it is
996.ICU is a protest and awareness project against the '996' work schedule (9am-9pm, 6 days a week) in Chinese tech companies. It maintains a blacklist of companies, provides the Anti 996 License, and offers badges for projects to show support for reasonable working hours.

## Use cases
- check whether a company enforces 996 overtime culture
- license my open-source project with the Anti 996 License
- add a 996.ICU badge to my repository README
- report evidence of companies forcing excessive overtime
- learn about the 996 working hour system in Chinese tech

## When to choose
- you want to support labor rights awareness in the tech industry
- you need a license that prohibits use by companies violating labor laws
- you want to research or document 996 work culture

## When to avoid
- you need executable software, a library, or a tool for your codebase
- you want a standard OSI-approved open-source license for your project
- you need a neutral project unrelated to labor activism
