      Yeah, but in that case what keeps me away is that an asshole broke their system.

      As it stands, my argument is about bad people writing good code. That is definitely not the case here, so I am sorry if I robbed anyone’s time.

        no, you’re making a salient argument. I don’t want to dump a book length (/s) idea I’ve had brewing in my head about this, so we can have a little chat. I’ll just throw the broadest strokes to you.

        1. What do you do with unethical scientific advances? Eg : Data on human limits on heat/cold/sleep deprivation obtained through torture? Can you use them in ethical projects after?
        2. How does a culture perpetuate? What are permanently completed projects? If an untrustworthy party is working on a project that for now seems fair, can you rely on it while its still being worked on and have faith that you can use that to go forward and build new things without getting stabbed in the back after?
        3. Curation. By choosing something curated by a “bad person TM” you are not giving opportunities of propagation to a project maintained and created by a “good person TM”.
