You don't think the Free Software / Open Source movement many of us owe our careers to was a political one?

I do! Just like a movement to reform electrical engineering would be.

That does nothing to make the wider industry inherently political. It also is a much narrower sphere of politics, in that it is about reforming how software is made and thought of, which is relevant to the industry itself in a way that broad social issues are not.
