Learning specific cases of my work being used by exceptionally vile organizations makes me feel like I should just no longer participate in open source anymore. I put my stuff out in the world to make it a better place, and here are some people making it measurably worse, using my work as free labor in order to achieve that.

The entire "open source definition" is fucking broken.
