I've been in and around Open Source since around 1997, and have been running (GNU) Linux as my main desktop at home and work since then: not always easy... I'm a security bod and architect, co-founder of the Enarx project, and am currently CEO of a start-up in the Confidential Computing space. I have a blog - "Alice, Eve & Bob" - where I write (sometimes rather parenthetically) about security. I live in the UK and like single malts.

I get the gaming thing, I really do. I'm an Elite Dangerous addict, and that doesn't run on Linux: hence the console.
Thanks for a long and really thoughtful reply.
I'd argue that morality isn't binary. As someone else pointed out in the comments, they've made an ideological choice. I have too, but I see that as moving into a moral dimension.
Also, don't forget my starting point: I work in open source. I think that colours my view of what appropriate moral choices I can make.
[NB: I'm speaking from my own view point here, and my views may not represent those of Red Hat as a company.] As to the point about FOSS vs Open Source, yes I get it. However: everything that Red Hat produces we push upstream. That means that you can have it for free if you wish. The vast majority of Red Hat customers, I believe, pay because they want a supported, enterprise offering. I have no problem with that.
