But not every open source project has a political agenda.

All open source projects have a political agenda. That's the purpose of the licence, to force certain behaviour.

  • Behavior related to the project maybe, but not behavior how should users behave every day in areas that are completely unrelated.

    "You are welcome to our community only if your hair is long and you drive a yellow car, if you're not then you're not welcome." is pretty insane IMO.

    • How is it insane to only welcome people to a community that act respectful towards other people? That seems like a really good way to build a solid community.

    • How you behave in community spaces is 100% related to the project.

      I agree, that would be very silly. I don't think you can compare not tolerating racists to mandating a particular car colour.
