When Lerna changed their license to forbid usage from ICE collaborators a lot of people got angry because it was no longer free software" and was "mixing politics and sofrware". Big fuck you to those people. Would love to see a more formalized version of that license.

It's truly despicable that people are putting free software above protesting locking children and adults in cages but OK

Because the main effect of that kind of protest is harm to open source. It does not help the kids one bit, it does at most mildly inconvenience the people you want to hit..

Better than nothing. As a software engineer, what other ways are there to protest and make it more difficult for ICE?

Why do you think not supporting meaningless symbolic gestures is "despicable"?

How is it symbolic at all? It literally does what it's meant to. Stop the usage of software by companies who support an organization that the author does not believe in.

It inconveniences some software grunt in an organization they sure have no control over.

Those inconveniences compound and can make a real difference. I have witnessed it.
