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?

Probably. I've always considered both US parties to be so far right wrt the rest of the world, that anything even remotely moderate would be labeled "liberal" or "communist". Both terms used with extreme prejudice and disdain, of course.
