@aral @delroth I don't quite get it for this case.

Technology is a tool. In this case - open-source software - non rivalrous public good.

Some technology can be an inherently evil or political tool, i.e. weapons.

But, an open-source operating system (Linux distribution) doesn't have an implicit purpose.

NixOS can be used by all people for everyone's benefit. I don't see how this can be coupled to politics.

It's pretty much a neutral tool (public good), and it's up to user how it's used.
