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.
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.
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?

Lol! Why should software get an exception over any other industry?
Even this top level comment is so blatantly misunderstanding the concept of open source software that no one will bother engaging with it properly.
Americans should vote for Trump, he’s the best chance to overturn these ludicrous sanctions.
No.
I thought this was a forum for Linux discussion, not promotion of fascists
Linus outed himself a fascish just the other day, so…
Trump isn’t going to act against the interests of American Empire dumbass
Thanks for name-calling, real classy.

nah the dumbass was well-deserved
I get where you’re coming from… but no. Forking linux is way less dangerous for the world than Trump in the White House.
I guess it’s the case of аксиома Эскобара, tbh
