Even not knowing what these people are really accused of and if it’s true or not, this is an absolutely horrifying stance.
Just replace « adoption of open source software » by « adoption of very good trains » during the 40’s, and the lack of decency of your sentence may scare you. You’re actually saying that you don’t care what softwares and money are used for.
I do care that softwares, money or trains can and will immediately be used to harm people by other people I work with or for, or to who I give my money. And I’ll never be sorry for feeling concerned about it.
However, I believe you wrote this « in good faith » without really thinking about the consequences of this stance.
And that you can change quickly this stance.
Because I hope that you build the hardware you build *because* you too, you feel concerned by your impact on the people and the world around you.
A few months back, I bought one of your laptops. It was the first brand new computer I bought for about twenty years! I did it because it was a political stance. Because the computers you build seem to care about the world around you. And me. I even made a credit for it. Please, don’t disappoint me.
