    Please don’t…

    Can we organize and force the Linux Foundation and/or OFAC to exclude open source software from these sanctions? Is anyone doing that yet?

      Americans should vote for Trump, he’s the best chance to overturn these ludicrous sanctions.

          Thanks for name-calling, real classy.

          At least Trump is probably gonna normalize relations with Russia. On the other hand, he’s probably gonna support Israel even more fervently, whereas Harris would do the opposite - escalate the bickering with Russia and colden the relations with Israel. You can’t have it all.

    personally i don’t agree with sanctioning foss communities.

    but fuckit, bring on more forks i say.

    among other benefits, the scifi-type scenario of nations trying to patch eachothers backdoors and slip in new backdoors (and hopefully innovations). could make for an exciting OS space-race type scenario

      Foss communities aren’t being sanctioned. Whole countries are. It’s the same limitation whatever enterprise you’re in.

      If Olympians have to renounce their country to take part in global competition, why do you not think a software developer wouldn’t have to do the same to be involved in a global project?
