Placing a projet as Open Source, IMHO, is already a political act.

It means you care about people, and sharing knowledge, etc: let's say is more or
less LEFT side politic.... It may means too you care about free commercial
relashionships, free open market, etc: let's say is more or less RIGHT side
politic...

IMHO, everything is political when you are involved in any organization of any
nature.

How PostgreSQL can tell on the main website
" The world's most advanced open source database "

... *and* not defending Open source from its major threat: patents?

This seems schyzophrenic to me.
