I feel like the world of software can probably be divided into the same moral classes as D&D, with M$ as Chaotic Evil (sorry M$!), Google as Chaotic Good (or would it be Lawful Evil? Probably lawful evil) and GNU as Lawful Good. All have their merits, flaws and compromises.
But, tinkering neutral is a great addition to that framework.
