      I already explained my point about it. A lot of companies rebased themselves when political issues occured. The Linux Foundation could easily do that. It’s just racism.

        Sanctions against a country/nation that is attacking another sovereign nation are not “racist”. Russia could easily stop their war to start getting rid of the sanctions.

          It depends, though. There are western and other countries invading and much worse, but there are no sanctions. It could be racism, interests or both that only a certain country is targeted with sanctions.

            There should be sanctions on every country invading. Its not rocket science. It’s crazy to say that russia is being sanctioned for racist reasons. They are literally attacking an European nation. Makes sense that other European countries sanction them, no?

              Yes, there should be sanctions against any country doing that and worse. But there aren’t. Why not? I see a lot of downvotes and no explanations. As per Europe, aren’t we talking mostly about US, since Linux is trying to follow their sanctions? Also even Europe is divided about who the enemy is, like pesky Hungary.

            So your argument is that Linux foundation should relocate to… where? Sorry that was such a bad argument that I did not even consider it being one.

            Why would they relocate? To keep a few Russian maintainers? Because not relocating is “racist”? Not sure what you mean, just trying to guess.

              Somewhere stable and neutral like Switzerland or some island. I’m not a lawyer so can’t say which country is the best for it.

              Because not relocating is “racist”?

              To some extent, yes.

                “Russian” is not a race. And Finland has a history with Russia that isn’t easily forgotten. That is to say, every Finn I’ve spoken to hates Russia for invading Finland… Twice…

                Finland isn’t even the only neighbour that hates Russia. At some point one has to wonder why so many of Russia’s neighbours hate, or at the very least don’t feel comfortable with, Russia.

                Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

        Counter argument: The maintainers could “easily” relocate to a country that is not currently conducting an invasion to enlarge its territory.

          As I understand it was employer-based ban, not country-based.

            Usually uprooting your life and moving to another country implies a job change. At least that’s how I read the comment.
