exactly... people happily use software from Nazis (not that DHH is one) without knowing. The only difference is that DHH openly writes about his opinions (its called free speech).

Good luck to anyone wanting only ideologically compatible software. They'll end up with pretty much nothing left to use.

Same applies to companies that produce goods. It's a never ending hole.

At some point, every person who says the words "free" and "speech" consecutively (especially in such a smarmy, snotty way), needs to understand that it's not a shield from criticism nor an obligation to continued association. I'm really tired of hearing about the concept from people who don't, evidently, understand what it actually means but just want to use it as an "you have to accept me and what I say no matter what" bludgeon.
