Good. Folks in the free software movement need to understand that free means free. And yes, North Korea can benefit from GCC and Linux. So what? But a bug-fix

Good. Folks in the free software movement need to understand that free means free. And yes, North Korea can benefit from GCC and Linux. So what? But a bug-fix is a bug-fix and a contributor and a contribution should not be discriminated against politically, especially at such an elliptic and third hand way. Was there a problem with the contributor or contribution? No. "oh no, a patch was pushed by a person employed by a company that contracts for a government agency that I really don't agree with. And nobody did anything"... Good.
