That you cannot understand technology without understanding the people. And you cannot understand people without understanding politics. Every choice you made has an impact on the world.
As it happens, I had this very conversation with a high school kid yesterday who was in my office on work experience. She said something to the effect of "I'm not political" to which I looked her dead in the eye and said: "You should be. Everything is political".
Thanks for sharing. It's always good to see people advocating for Free licensing for the right reasons.
