It's little more than a year ago that Brendan Eich was ousted from Mozilla by an ugly orchestrated cabal. When I read Mitchell Baker's vapid blog post [1] on the decision, filled with polite backstabbing and politically correct buzzwordery I understood that Mozilla has been taken over by politicians and that its decline is just a matter of time.

I can't think of many OSS projects that aren't being manipulated by a strong community of liberals.

Is that the US definition of 'liberal'? i.e. the one that would apply to most center-right parties in the rest of the world?

"Liberals" in the US - democrats - are indeed center-right of the rest of the world. Look at Obama, Clinton, Biden. They are very center on some issues and quite right on others.
