I think that every software is political to an extent. And even when software tries to make its "not political" is in itself this act is political in itself.

With Linus recent suspicious statement regarding the Linux kernel, I believe we should at least try to think on it or debate on it. What is the political intention behind this?

All feedback are welcome.

In my view, all software is political in one way or another. Also, when software makes an attempt to be "politically neutral", in doing so it is making a political point.

So let's pick the Linus questionable part regarding the not a Social Warrior place, and I feel that it is time to either think about it or talk about it.

All feedback is welcomed.

I think that all software has a certain amount of politics in it and to say that software is non political.. is in itself a political statement.

With the mailchain of Linus... (with lack of better word) questionable quote in the Linux kernel, I think it would be good for us to discuss this issue. What are the politics behind this?
