The #FreeSoftware movement is fundamentally a political movement advocating for folks' freedoms.

To say that politics have no place in the Free Software movement is to say that the Free Software movement shouldn't exist.

But it's an attractive line to those looking to exploit the #FOSS software that the movement produces while subverting the movement itself.
