> But the part about FOSS being used in a project not aligned with the creator's values seams hypocritical

I agree with you.

Imagine a parallel Earth where there was a free OS that the majority in the world used called GNU/Felix.

Felix (it/its), who wrote GNU/Felix and who was the project’s strong but kind leader, one day had a head injury that somehow decreased its empathy but raised its IQ.

Subordinates of Felix on the council of leadership noticed that it was adding features that would track all user data to use in some nefarious plan.

In this case, most would agree that for both the freedom and good of all, Felix should no longer lead this effort.

However, they would want to be sure that even the Will Bates’ great company Bikerosoft didn’t lead the project either, because despite its wonderful and ubiquitous Bikerosoft Office apps and Ezure cloud tools and infrastructure, it was a profit-based company.
