Are there any specific reasons that the Foundation should remain neutral on any topic, economic, political, or otherwise, which clearly impacts the readership or community?
Well, off the top of my head: to avoid compromising the appearance of the projects and the movement as neutral providers of information; to avoid bad publicity; to avoid antagonizing governments or corporate interests; to avoid compromising the Foundation's tax-exempt status; to avoid fragmenting the resources and attention of the movement; to avoid creating divisions within the projects and the movement that would make it more difficult for volunteers to work together.
