To those who get upset with this post: bruh just talk to actual Ukrainians. You'll discover many interesting things.
The funny part of propaganda is that it's very often true - maybe exagerated but still true. People on the other side just ignore their own issues, so the truth has a shocking effect. But in actuality, if you dig deeper, you almost always end up realising both sides in every conflict do some horrible things and at the same time have good reasons for that. Because war is not about who's right and who's wrong, it's about who's gonna survive and who's gonna become a slave or die.
And I'm even not pro-Russian.
There's no direct relation, yes, but centralisation and bloating are both things commercial software development tends to because of the nature of developper-consumer relations. And GPL forces companies to contribute their code which is often based on those principles back to the original project. So I think there is indirect relation.
