Opensource game rejected from Debian for authors' social beliefs
An open source casino video game was recently posted to the Debian bug tracker as a request for packaging, as is the standard method for pursuing such things in Debian. The bug was quickly closed, tagged as "won't fix." The reason given by one of the Debian developers alluded to the authors' conservative views and his advocacy of them.
The author in question clearly expressed his views back in 2005, resulting in him being the first person ever banned from Debian mailing lists, and a month later from the bug tracking system.
The piece of software in question is licensed under the GPL and is one of the only of it's kind for Linux (ASCII-art console slot machine software). Is professing progressive politics now a hard requirement for being allowed to contribute to open source?
[Ed. note: The question is, rather, where should the line be between personal and professional?]

Sometimes they are killed in Pakistan and Afghanistan. This is a good thing.
Sometimes advanced forms of such activists are killed in Russia, this is also a shocking, almost unbelievable, but good thing.
Girl children are often very pretty and cute. They are desirable to males. For that reason
it is bad that such laws you are talking about are passed.
Additionally straight up forcible rape of an unespoused young girl is fine in the Old Testament
(Deuteronomy 22 28-29 (hebrew)), though the man must pay the father and keep the girl if discovered.
That same book also states that those trying to get someone to follow another rule/judge/god (the hebrew can mean any of these things) than that found there is to be killed.
IE: The activists you speak of.
The Pakistanis, the Afghans, Putin's friend from the caucuses, they are all doing what the Old Testament God
of the book of Deuteronomy commands.
