More importantly, the whole concept of FOSS software is inherently political the same way that top-down, for-profit software is political. It aligns heavily with collectivist, socialist values, which makes it extremely frustrating to me that politically active leftists are often rightfully repulsed by the nasty bigotry and paranoia FOSS software seems to draw in. So many people who would otherwise champion FOSS software as a moral good reject it.
