So if CIA uses GNU/Linux and Libreoffice then should we gross out about Linux and stop using it?

Microsoft might have billions of problems but CIA using windows and PowerPoint isn't one of them.

If the FSF becomes a CIA vendor, I'm definitely out. Your analogy doesn't quite make sense, though. Neither Linux nor GNU are vendors to anyone. If they were, it would throw enough of their mission into question that most people would stop supporting them and fork everything.
