Oh geez, this the third reply by the same account… Again, I’m just saying that we don’t know whether the contributors were assumed guilty, or if they have actual ties to sanctioned companies.
@griefstricken@Vincent I think bottom line is that it’s bad for the open source community and something a grown adult like Linus should know better than to do even if it means moving his foundation to another nation. You can’t be as critical to the open source movement and then bow to political pressures like this. The last estimate of Linus’s personal worth was placed at 50 million, so not like he can’t afford to move.

Honestly I wish that was a principle that the internet embraced more. We’re so trigger-happy to be outraged.

No, I’m telling people not to suspect anything, because we don’t know anything.
