Sharing your work without cost to people who need it is pretty solidly left. But it certainly isn’t red vs blue, not least because party political colors vary by country and in the US, neither refers to a left-wing party, and in most countries red aligns with left.
Like patent system, litigious closed source software produced very little and what it did produce did not have funding to be properly maintained
whereas
FOSS fostered peer collaboration improving the entire ecosystem of how to go about producing better software, produced alot, and what it did produce did not see much funding to be properly maintained
Before a political ideology claims victory i insist maintenance be fully funded.
Claiming victory while marching off a cliff is laughable.
No party represents producers. Otherwise H1B visas would not be a thing.
Classic case of coop the resistance by introducing completely different talking points.
FOSS is not left or right, it’s FOSS. Those trying to change it to something else is trying to coop it.
There is no controversy. The blue vs red lens does not make sense in this context.

FOSS is political. Sure, there are right wingers in FOSS projects, but the nature of it is leftist.
i see it as more of an evolution.
