Linus’ thread: (CW: bigotry and racism in the comments) https://social.kernel.org/notice/AWSXomDbvdxKgOxVAm (you need to scroll down, i can’t seem to link to the comment in the screenshot)
I disagree. Of course it’s political to some degree. It might not really make a difference whatever a software’s authors stance on gun control is as it’s not directly related to the software. But of course the political beliefs of a person might influence the product itself when it’s more related like for example the licensing. FOSS software enables the user of a software to effectively maintain ownership of their own device which is 100% a political thing.
