    One great thing about about software is you don’t have to agree with or care about what the creators thoughts and beliefs are, software is at the end of the day just software.

    Doesn’t get any less political than that.

      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.
