> It is a sad day when politics must be paramount when contributing to a foss project

Politics have always been the reason for me. It depends on what you call politics though.

I got involved with FOSS initially because of the GPL. I then found a project whose aims I agreed with, and also had a welcoming environment.

I might contribute a one off patch here or there to some other projects, but the ones I stay are such as those.
