Especially in public life (government, etc), open source should be a default. The only exception I can think of is where there is no open source project serving a need but a proprietary one does.

But we need to go further than open source and practice ethical technology. If there is overlap between open source and evils like fascism and genocide*, then we are fostering an “open source” practice that serves the privileged.
