The GNU Project stays neutral on unrelated political issues. It does not take sides in international disputes, except for disputes about free software issues. A free license must offer the four freedoms to all users, and it must not try to restrict what jobs users can do with the program. See https://gnu.org/philosophy/programs-must-not-limit-freedom-to-run.html for why this must be so. The FSF must obey US law, including any sanctions on dealings between US organizations and Russians or Russian companies. I think that is what Devin was talking about. But that won't affect whether Russians can use free software. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org) _______________________________________________ libreplanet-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreplanet.org/mailman/listinfo/libreplanet-discuss
