Many books include a dedication at their start and I don't see why
software is any less a part "meatspace" than a book. Sport is as
unrelated to politics yet there are events cancelled and Ferraris
driving around yesterday in plain red and a black nose. I'd only see it
as involvement if the wording was controversial.
I'm in favour of the dedication and am happy with the suggested wording.
Oliver
