    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?

      What would be the point of the sanctions then? If the Linux Foundation were against it they could move the infrastructure to an other jurisdiction which does not sanctize countries, that would carry a strong message. But if they refuse to do that, what's wrong with others' forking it and doing it? That's the point of opensource.

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

        I thought this was a forum for Linux discussion, not promotion of fascists

          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.

        Even this top level comment is so blatantly misunderstanding the concept of open source software that no one will bother engaging with it properly.
