Politics matters.

Parent article: A seperate Political Based newsletter for Linux

Politics do matter, and politics will matter more in the future. Whether you like it or not, open source software / Free Software is now in the big leagues, and that means that some large organizations (particularly competitors) will be interested in manuevers to prevent or inhibit its use.

That being said, a way to mark such articles (so people who don't want them can ignore them) makes sense.
