I get that sentiment, but what would you want to happen here, should he have just stayed in prison? Should he end up in a ditch somewhere? At some point reintegration into society needs to be happen, and i sure as hell think contributing to FOSS is a good deal better for everyone.
If he’d not been a spokesperson and just another cog in the machine, I don’t think anyone would have known who he was. Hell, even without that I don’t think anyone would have known who he was if he didn’t make a ruckus by vandalizing the xlibre wiki. When you have a past like the one Bicha has, you can’t just go throwing stones. Now that it is out there, you can’t unring the bell.
