That’s what “being political” means. Otherwise you’d be apathetic, cynical and not concerned about anything.

Now, what one considers free is political. You cannot decouple reality from politics, and the free software movement is just one very specific example how political this really is. It’s also these communities that generate politival movements that you may see as unrelated to the pieces of software in question.

Outside the US this no longer has to be political, is probably more what it really is.

Personal is political.
