Here is Linus’s comment
Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about. It’s entirely clear why the change was done, it’s not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to “grass root” it by Russian troll factories isn’t going to change anything. And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren’t troll farm accounts - the “various compliance requirements” are not just a US thing. If you haven’t heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by “news”, I don’t mean Russian state sponsored spam. As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I’m Finnish. Did you think I’d be supporting Russian aggression? Apparently it’s not just lack of real news, it’s lack of history knowledge too.
And about whether or not he is under an NDA
No, but I’m not a lawyer, so I’m not going to go into the details that I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers. I’m also not going to start discussing legal issues with random internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have been riled up by them
How is being born in Russia makes one complicit in “Russian aggression” wtf? I didn’t have a fucking choice in this matter. Now I’m fucking worried that someone will have a bright idea of blocking Russians from using Linux, I might just kill myself at that point. Honestly, I’d rather die than lose my main and most beloved hobby.
Born in the wrong country in the wrong time, that’s on you.
Next time try being born in a NATO country.

Red Hat recently blocked my country from accessing Fedora (both site and repos), while I could use a VPN (which would fucking suck, I’d have to keep it on the entire time I’m upgrading) but fuck them, I moved to Arch.
Based. They’re under Red Hat, well, basically under Israel.
If you want to try your hands on Guix, there are Chinese mirrors too - albeit a little on the slow end.
It’s ridiculous. Two years ago: Orchestras Pull Tchaikovsky From Concerts Over Russia’s War on Ukraine
Wild, tchaikovsky was even a reactionary too lol.
I shouldn’t be playing shostakovich so loud on piano my neighbors might inform on me 😂
Germany literally started stealing random Russians’ cars, Euros and Burgerrhoids are salty.
