there's no contradiction, because the developer does not matter. that's the entire point of FOSS.
it could be written by a literal nazi (not that there's a big difference between brown and red fascists) and it wouldn't matter one bit.
that's the entire beauty of FOSS!
we ALL own the code.
if Dessalines ever stops developing it, anyone can take over.
if Dessalines implements code the community at large doesn't like, anyone can create a fork and change that specific part and continue from there.
we can see exactly what the code does, and can create new versions at any point.
that was always the reason behind decentralized, open source networks:
nobody can own it.
