I guess it's time to push for more AGPL

Well I guess if he trusts them, he will welcome in open arms once the sanctions are lifted. Or if they get a non russian state domain to operate from.

Open source IP laws operate under the jurisdiction of the citizen's country. What kind of principles do you think open source represents? Because if it's about free movement of information and global collaboration, I'm pretty sure that pirates are the group that better represents those values

I'm surprised how many people treat GPL to ignore borders. The IP law still operates only by the rules your country decides.

I can understand the desire for information to be free, but unless Open source movement becomes it's own country the discussion should end there.

Aren't the removed commiters with direct access to the kernel? It's not like it's some rando that makes pull requests.

I guess it's difficult to otherwise explain the position you have? It's not like people face criminal charges in Russia just for speaking against it. It's easy to see how the state would want to introduce backdoors to most western systems.

It's extremely sad that a lot of good Russians get swooped in this. But even abroad their lives are in danger to fight the state.

Why? There aren't any sanctions for them in Finland?

[–] hitwright@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure not just the US wants Russia sanctioned to the oblivion. All of the Europe that borders Russia wants that. Now why would it be like that?

I thought that this community is just shitposting for linux.

Will this community rename itself too?
