Oh, I didn't mean they should use proprietary software, just that in  
my experience the kind of people who are active in open source are  
quite anti-war, green, etc.  There are notable exceptions, but I know  
people who worry that their work will have military applications, and  
who turn down projects because of it.

You're more likely to get people who are interested in aviation with  
some programming background (universities do teach coding to  
engineers, afterall), than the other way around.
