There are people wishing to create software in the OSS definition, regardless of politics and ethics.
Who are the critics to tell them what to do with their time? Yes some of their creations will be used for (sometimes perverse) law enforcement, waging wars and what not, so what? The idea that curl should be released under a "no baddies" license is ridiculous.
OSS organizations should ignore all attempts to guilt-trip them into abandoning their spirit.
Those wishing to mix ethics with code are welcome to start their own and rally people away from OSS of course, good luck.
