> is there really such a thing as ethical IT? What do you guys think?

Maybe this is the response you'd expect from someone on #FOSStodon, but *of course* there's such a thing as ethical IT.

For example: curl. It was built as an entirely libre project, simply because that's "the right thing to do".

curl has been installed well over 6 *billion* times. Imagine how much worse off we'd all be if each of those projects had had to build their own/pay/do without.
