well it used to be, but that battle seems to have been largely won on some level too, at least all involved parties now realize the value of open-source (though some may just treat it as a PR asset rather than a platform for inclusive innovation and progress).
I mean subtilities like going with a GPLv2 (+ commercial license), LGPLv2/3, GPLv3, BSD-like, CC0 or WTFPL... Or a combination! There you are already cross into politics IMHO. You made a statement, to a greater of lesser degree by choosing one (or more) of the mentioned licenses.
