While I can understand your ethical point of not supporting those
sectors commercially, I feel you're both missing one particular dimension.

The technology is here and, especially in countries other than Germany,
here to stay. I'm not judging, whether this is good or bad. I will,
however, determine, that whenever someone uses X2Go, this implies one
less possibility to use Windows. Assuming the constraint, that at least
some nuclear power plants will not be shut down any time soon, I feel
better knowing their computers are running a Linux-based operating
system and not Windows.
