I mean, find me a single American tech organisation that *isn’t* full of right wing libertarians. That’s the secret lurking in open source - it’s actually a weird combo of gun-toting anti-government survivalists and radical progressives* who have managed for years to share some similar goals because politics wasn’t mentioned. But then software ate the world; software *is* politics, and vice versa. * (I’m in the second camp, I’m sure the first camp would use different words for me.)
