This really sounds like sectarian stuff. One should be entirely devoted to the sect, and thus become a DD, or entirely out of the thing, and thus contribute nothing. In my professional life, I use some proprietary software. And when I have opportunity to chat with an engineer or technical marketing from those software provider, I explain them what to improve in their product, and sometimes even how to do so. I do not share their values, I do not approve their social involvments, but I help them improve their product because I need that product. That is pragmatism. I use Debian for only technical reasons, basically because dpkg works better than rpm, and because files tend to be in the right places (logs in /var/log, and configs not in /usr/local/stuff/etc). I have only very minor interest in anything else in Debian. Does it make me an infidel, and so my potential contributions should be discarded as tainted?
