That's a pretty impressive way to imagine people's motivations. The likelihood of a non-profit outfit building open source software being driven by a warped sense of justice and the goal of making people miserable rather than, say, trying to make sure they can continue their stated mission and ensure publishers keep agreeing to digital book lending is pretty bold. But sure, why not. |

Because those people are, after all, inhuman robots with no connection to humanity? In fact, I'd say that with any group of humans, each additional human makes this more likely, simply because this sort of attitude easily overrides the less-aggressive attitudes of those who don't agree with it.
You seem to disagree because it would be uncomfortable if I were correct, and you'd much rather it be true that I'm wrong.
>trying to make sure they can continue their stated mission
What person over the age of about 5 thinks that because an organization starts with a particular mission that, even a few years in, still strongly pursue it?
