You described multiple distinct events. The killing of people was the bad thing. The releasing of code under the GPL is at most a neutral thing.

They are not distinct, stopping the former would also stop the latter, as such they are linked.

Using the same logic, you can come to the opposite conclusion.

They are distinct, stopping the latter would not stop the former, as such they are not linked.

Let me try saying this another way. Tell your story again but where the decision to be involved in open source software was not made. Was the sum total of badness injected into this world quantifiably less?
