But YOU can force other people to engage in YOUR values and YOUR agenda? Why do you feel the need to coopt successful movements for a completely unrelated agenda? Free software achieved it's goal to protect people's software freedoms. If that's not enough for you, create a new movement and push a different agenda with it. Fork git, change w/e you want and leave normal people alone. I will repeat, only 8% of americans are progressive, you are a tiny, tiny minority. Just an incredibly vocal one.
Also, the reasoning that the word "master" excludes black americans is ludicrous. "Master" can mean so many things, then you CHOOSE to be offended because of one of it's meanings and now it's "INHERENTLY" racist and excludes people? Do colleges also exclude them when they offer you a MASTERS degree? Do chess excludes them because the highest rank is grandMASTER?
Listen to yourself, you are completely lost in pure, unadulterated ideology.
