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?
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
Linus outed himself a fascist just the other day, so…
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
personally i don’t agree with sanctioning foss communities.
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?
Not the west. The global community.
…and should Israel be under sanctions? Absolutely.
“global community”
