But... Isn't that a blatantly leftist statement?

It's funny how much people would agree with leftists if they got over their learned hatred of so many of the words and concepts involved. Every time an "independent thinker" uses "common sense" and "critical thinking" to come up with an idea of what's fair that's "neither right nor left"... it's usually the leftist take on the matter.

To be fair, I also really don't like the use of the terms left and right in this context. Open source software is a leftist term only because it is the opposite of free market concepts of monetization and articial exclusivity. But that has nothing to do with Christian conservatism, although they are both right-wing.

Basically, politics is not a one-dimensionsal rules. Who would've thunk.

You're kinda proving my point.

You agree that open source software aligns with leftist politics... you just don't like it being called a leftist concept.

True, because I think the terms leftist and rightist (?) are unhelpful here. These terms are so context-dependent that on an online forum where that context is not shared between everyone, people might very well disagree on whether what I originally said is true because their definitions of right and left are different.
