Those things are important when you want to use making software as a fun social activity. (And are of the appropriate tribe, for the ones with political valence.)

They matter rather less if the goal is to have useful software.

.

There's also the possibility that you make something commercially valuable, and forbid corporations from deriving value from it; in which case you'll suddenly have to share space with something that's (somewhat?) interoperable and outside your control. As was seen in the news a few times when project owners got annoyed at cloud providers and tried to restrict them.
