The frustrated comment I gave is from the perspective of someone who is not an american; I don't see american californians as the moral authority of how open source software must be developed.
It is a sad day when politics must be paramount when contributing to a foss project. If developers wanted this burden they'd need look no further than working in a soul-crushing multinational mega-corp.

- johnny22 9y ago> It is a sad day when politics must be paramount when contributing to a foss project Politics have always been the reason for me. It depends on what you call politics though. I got involved with FOSS initially because of the GPL. I then found a project whose aims I agreed with, and also had a welcoming environment. I might contribute a one off patch here or there to some other projects, but the ones I stay are such as those.
