    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?

        Do you think it’s acceptable to make olympicians first bow to the west before they can take part in games?

        Should Isn’traelis first denounce the genocide before being able to contribute to the linux kernel or take part in olympic games?
