I know why people do care, but never having used the software or even heard of the devs before all this, and then learning that they were so openly hostile that they became prime scapegoats, it's hard to muster up sympathy.

I'm sure that those at the top who ordered their imprisonment—ordered, like kings—dont care about freedom of code or money transmission. They saw an enemy to their power and eliminated its what they thought was its head. Same with Ross, same with Assange, and same with every other political prisoner ever.

I could post Free Samourai, Free Ross, Free Whomever all day, but I just don't want to. And I don't want to ride any bandwagons no matter how righteous they are.
