I think it’s different to actively endorse something vs having it be used for something. If you’re working in a community producing axes and you’re later seeing the organization advertising them for murder instead of cutting down trees, you might understandably not wanna be part of it anymore or try to change the organization.
- steve1977 2y agoBut a lot of the technologies were explicitly designed with military use in mind. It’s not like some unintended and unplanned side effect. So a better analogy would be swords that can also be used to cut fruit instead of killing maybe.

- steve1977 2y agoI don't know. The designer and founder of nix at least does not seem to explicitly exclude military use. From what I understand, this is actually the root cause of the conflict here; the founder of the project seems to be fine with military use, some other members of the community are not.
