  • Way to purposefully misread it.

    The whole issue is that the Russians work for companies with sanctions against them.

    So, treat all companies involved in war the same way, and you’ll never run into this hypocritical issue again.

    There’s plenty of companies (like Valve) who don’t directly produce weapons of war or have contracts with their governments for war-services who contribute to Linux that could still do so, and plenty of individuals who don’t work for military and military adjacent companies to contribute.

    Acting like removing people who work at companies that contribute to wars will mean no one can contribute is obviously a grossly exaggerated misinterpretation.






  • But folks who work for US companies building weapons for Israel are totes okay?

    It’s honestly fucking wild that an internationally developed open source project has to play by the US government’s rules when the US government is out here helping commit genocide right the fuck now.

    Like, look in the fucking mirror on this why don’t you.

    Maybe the better rule is that if you work for a company that produces weaponry for war you shouldn’t be allowed to contribute, period.
