The title really undersells it, it seems like under a Biden Executive Order, free/open-source software will have to ban all Russian contributions. Its unclear if American developers would be allowed to contribute to Russian software like Nginx

    If anything people living in a dictatorship are even less responsible. At least in democracies the people have a theoretical say in things to a certain extent. Not only does the public not have a say in a dictatorship, but they often don’t even have the option to leave it. E.G. China confiscating their citizens passports to prevent them from fleeing the country.

      Neither Russia nor China are dictatorships, and the US also confiscates passports.
