There was a time where we were being political for doing open source… we were characterised as communists by some, extreme left wing activists for others for having a movement, that defended affordable transparent software for all.
So yeah little bud, open source was a political statement.
- guelo 4y agoEverything we do is political. The original Stallman "free (as in freedom) software" movement had anti-corporate politics. The "Open Source Software" movement was a deliberate attempt to coopt the movement to be more pro-corpotate.
