Politicizing software has all the appeal of proprietary licensing.
This is just the inevitable fallout of our inability to have nice things.
May all find joy in their choices.

If they stuck to just the names that would have been less annoying, but they had a release where it would automatically start typing a message.
I stopped using it and stopped donating soon afterwards.
What partisan pretensions are on offer with the GPL are unclear.
While a FSF member for decades, I take a syncretic view that the GPL is a crucial point on the licensing spectrum, and that economic value is maximized when there are products available across that spectrum for people to choose and use at will.
I guess, if we squint, this might be something of a political position, perhaps a libertarian one.
The FSF is very concerned with who has power within the relationship of software author and user -- namely that users should retain the power to redistribute and edit their software.
If someone is trying to ensure a community retains power or someone is trying to ensure a community loses access to power, that's politics too.
