I am not sure this is a wide spread behavior among the IT. Reading the "Debian Free Software Guidelines", we could have some doubts.

If we want te be responsible as producers, we have to organize as such to stop production that killing us (with climat change or military for example) and promote the one that emancipate us.

And it works.
