I think that this actually makes the wrong point. I think you cannot
criticize a _project_ for having political bias and/or a political agenda.
Free Software itself is inherently political; Its political nature is the
very ground that is being attacked so violently these days by the
Microsoft FUD machines. If you are wearing your LEAF project hats, you
have no right whatsoever to criticize what happened to linuxrouter.org, it
is only as a member of _that_ community that you can say "Hey, I'm also a
part of the LRP effort, and I don't agree with this political agenda!".
If, however, I were to put political propaganda for Alfred E. Neuman's
presidential campaign on the homepage of, say, the CISH project, you would
in my opinion have little right to complain unless if I was using your
source code ;)
My point: This is an LRP issue. Deal with it in LRP and try not to
generalize it into something larger. Abstaining from politics is politics
as well.
