This makes sense if you read the headline: "declarative. reproducible. human-friendly." This interpretation is confirmed in the "Conflict of Interest Statements" section of https://lix.systems/team/ https://lix.systems/team/ which contains wording like "TMLLC declares that it has no financial stake in the future of Lix or Nix, no ties to the military-industrial-complex, and a strong commitment to avoiding such ties." I like the concept of this section. I don't think I've seen something like this before. I think it might have been valuable in the cloud/containerization ecosystem where everyone is fishing for consulting hours by advertising the open-source components they use. Sometimes the lines get a little blurry, and it is quite frustrating. I noticed that there is 1 out of 11 on the core team who is a "he/him". I don't know if non-he/hims are especially opposed to the war machine (e.g. like academics often are), or if are there other social factors that cause the cultural split?
