If a programmer ends up in jail, it is kind of important to know why, so we can assess if we want to run/use their software. So without writing the details I found out, the alleged crime (if it is the same person) is a crime we as society disagree with, very much. But it isn't related to cybercrime in a sense where it can hurt this software project directly.

I didn't notice that but you're correct, and that does change the calculus. In that case: https://www.mctxsheriff.org/news_detail_T6_R1333.php
