If this were a commercial venture, I would agree. But in open source, are there fundamentally any such stakeholders that could get hurt like &quot;investors&quot;, &quot;partners&quot;, &quot;customers&quot; as you mention?<p>It&#x27;s code with an MIT&#x2F;BSD license. If you like it, use it. If not, find something else. The people behind it have very little power over you.<p>Ideologically open source is supposed to be above this kind of personal stigma. You can be ugly, smelly, paraplegic, Gypsy, Swedish, psychotic, a former inmate, a Nazi doctor or a toothless dog, and your patches and projects will still be evaluated the same. (I realize the real world is never quite like this.)
