It *would* if companies were just some things assembled under the
freedom of association.

BUT, it's not the case as there are hierarchical relationships in these,
and they assemble under specific laws and texts.

For that reason, more than a century of experience made clear that the
right to union is important and the employees joining unions are to be
protected.

Debian is not a company, and as a private group assembled under the
freedom of association, yep, it can have anyone removed from the group.

Of course, if it were done based on law-punishable motives, it could
probably be a ground for prosecution. But as far as I am aware of,
"you're behaving in a way that is not compatible with our code of
conduct" or "you are doing harm to the community" is not discrimination
and is not forbidden by the law.

It's far easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.
