      No, I’m saying that if the banned people are only banned because they’re associated with the Russian government (/employed by sanctioned companies), then I’m not going to get outraged over the kernel maintainers. I do not expect them to break the law just to die on this hill.

          This is all hypothetical

          Yes, that is exactly my point: let’s not get all worked up about something where we have almost zero facts. Although:

          open source is beholden to western laws and corporate practices

          is definitely the case for the Linux Foundation: it’s beholden to US laws. And wake-up call or not, a foundation would always be incorporated somewhere, and beholden to the laws of that somewhere.
