@devnull @aral That’s where I disagree. Free Software is very political, and the naming/marketing behind «Open Source» is a tentative to hide its revolutionary nature and make it capitalist-friendly. rms saw that groups could exercise power over others by preventing them to do something they should have the right to do.

To be get back on the subject, I’m not even talking of changing the license of Free Software to disallow use by police, but not actively collaborating with and promoting something that’s bad for society should be a baseline.

Surely we can agree that helping somebody do something unethical isn’t very ethical. You may not find it applies for police, but how would you feel if an organization helped installing Free Software on drone that kill people? Why should Free Software be outside of ethics, somehow?
