I am not ignoring the legitimate use cases - and I never said that there weren't any. I simply pointed out that if you work in DPI/filter/blocking and your company sells to those regimes, that you support the oppression of the affected users. I can help with some real world examples. One is Blue Coat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Coat_Systems#Controversy |

This is much different than (my own wording): "anyone working in DPI for a company they know is selling their products to a police state".
It is absurd to blame open-source developers, researchers, or even employees at company's whose software has a legitimate purpose but is illegally exported and misused. They're just doing their job, since the technology has legitimate uses, as you've acknowledged. Blame the governments, not the programmers.
