Agreed. I think the Samba team said it best:
"The strength of Open Source/Free Software is that it is available to all
without restrictions on fields of endeavor, as the Samba Team believes
the ability to freely use, modify and learn from software code is one of
the grounding principles of computer science, and a basic freedom for
all.
Because of this, we believe that the Samba Team must remain true to our
principles and our code must be freely available to use even in ways we
personally disapprove of.
Even when used by rank hypocrites like SCO."
