“Compliance requirements”? The kernel’s american now?! WTF?

The commonality of all these maintainers being dropped? They appear to all be Russian or associated with Russia. Most of them with .ru email addresses.

Not short-sighted in the least…

Similarly, the driver code remains within the kernel – including for Russian hardware such as around the Baikal CPUs from Russia’s Baikal Electronics.

Not a hypocrite move at all…

Are israeli developers blocked as well? How about all american developers considering how the US foreign policy keeps fucking everyone up all over the place in the name of liberty and freedom… of oil?

Nope, but it is not above the law.

I suppose any law in any jurisdiction you want to use it, don’t you think ?

Guys, are you all really that young to not remember alla the fuss with crypto software ? Same thing here: you want to distrubute something in a country, you need to follow the country’s law, even if they are stupid.

You do realize that the Linux foundation is an American based entity right? It isn’t a shock that it is bound by US law.

They employ Torvalds, Torvalds owns Linux™. Who owns the code?

Now we see the intended outcome of the “Inclusively” movement of the past few years.

I can’t wait to see this “Inclusively” extended to China, India, Brazil and others.

We’ll truly be the most Inclusive ever!!! What a great thing!!!

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did something similar for China at some point. (If tensions worsen)

I don’t see them doing anything outside of that

Fantastic to hear! wonderful news. Racists and Xenophobes will try to stop global collaboration, but the real conflict that matters will always be the smart vs the lowiq. FOSS is about humanity first and not any particular sub-category. Everyone who gets in the way is trying to divide and stop FOSS from saving the planet.

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
