        If/when the Russian government comes knocking on their door and tells them that they need to do x, y, and z with the kernel

        CIA could do that too.

              Dunno. But this post is about Linus Torwalds booting Russians from an open source project due to their association with a warmongering regime. It’s nothing to do with the US.

                You seriously think that the US are not warmongering?

                My point was, that your enemy might be in your ranks. Some of your dotzend secret services might have other goals than the interests of the common people. It’s rarely only black and white.

                Btw, didn’t they ask Linus to include a backdoor once already?

        Any moderator want to actually let me know why my comment was removed, or…?

        Is pointing out the dangers of working in an autocratic nation against the rules?
