FTR, I find the final part of that sentence uncalled for. I also disagree with
the idea of "ethical open source", but it adds NOTHING to the debate and
discussion to disparage those who are speaking their PoV for it. I, for one,
can certainly understand and appreciate what their goals and intents are, and
in some way, I even agree with them. But on one hand to damn them for speaking
their mind, while at the same time defending (for lack of a better word) those
using our software to oppress fellow human beings by "allowing" them to
continue using our software to do so seems hypocritical. Please show better
restraint.
