The ontology suggested is wrong because ecosystems evolve and are not necessarily free from ethics. Eco-feminism, for example, is all about ethics. My use of the word is closer to "state of affairs with reference to sustainability". "Free software ecosystems" are "ecosystems" in that sense.

Over time they have lost on diversity in content relative development. How do those projects really sustain diversity in development? Potential new developers are often put off by the state of affairs and many of the more free distro projects are not doing enough in the situation. Best A. Mani Prof(Miss) A.
