The GPL isn't viral its a simple bargain you can pick up or leave without also agreeing nor disagreeing with anyone's politics. There is no "danger" of any kind

The GPL isn't viral its a simple bargain you can pick up or leave without also agreeing nor disagreeing with anyone's politics. There is no "danger" of any kind whether you can or cannot use GPL software is a trivial matter. If you are distributing proprietary software then you cannot. Foregoing software as a user because it is licensed under the GPL makes even less sense. The GPL simply doesn't restrict use in any fashion. It's like saying if I find out my a brands clothes was sewn by people who drink milk I bail man I'm lactose intolerant! It's a basic misunderstanding of how things work or a weird hang up.
