@tyil sorry, I am not accusing you of anything (so this is not a strawman argument). Like I said, I was playing devils advocate in order to make my point.
The point is that you (and I also) agree that sharing code for free without strings attached, rather than treating it as private property and charging rent for it, is a moral good. This is a moral and political point of view inherent in your act of sharing code with no strings attached. So you are wrong when you say this:
> "The code I submit to projects, and code I accept from others, is not political."Quite the contrary: it is necessarily political to share code.
