He has always claimed this apolitical stance. He hasn't an issue with closed software. He used bitlocker until it became the problem it was always going to be. He not in it for freedom, just for the benefits of the freedom to him. He is an engineer, not a philosopher.
Only of course that stance doesn't add up. What you will, and won't, work with and on is a political choice.
If you are willingly fixing the trains at Auschwitz, you are a Nazi engineer, not just an engineer.
Loads of tech people take the stance they are apolitical, but are they really amoral when the chips are down?
