    gee all those entities are for-profit, why does Linux need to prioritize profits again?

      Okay you’re still missing the point. The same reason the Red Cross or Doctors Sans Borders needs to abide by laws in several different countries.

        the red cross has to arbitrarily ban russians due to a proxy war for nazis?

          Probably. I’m sure they’re obligated to restrict their operations in all kinds of ways.

            You’re probably right, but do their leaders tend to broadcast themselves agreeing with these restrictions?

              No. That’s a good point. This guy seems to be a rare asshole. In fact, all I know about Linux is that it has something to do with this dummy.

          Maybe not, but they probably has to be very careful about taking money from anybody with Russian citizen ship. Also probably, now has to be careful about having people with Russian citizenship, ties to Russian businesses, or the Russian government in any leadership or critical infrastructure positions.

      profit has nothing to do with it. Its about where you reside or do business.
