A quote from the first link, "people who specifically name-drop FOSS (Free/Open Source Software) as something that is a-political and should be kept that way. That... demonstrates a complete and total lack of awareness of Free Software itself... Free Software is political, Intrinsically and unavoidably political. Free Software is a political and ethical movement, that happens to be focused on software. The software itself is almost incidental to the politics."
Good to think about this if you find the politics hard.
