IANAL, but the Israeli law is rather inimical to BDS and its derivates. I am not even going to consider what is the drift outside Israel, aince whatever the status is now, it will likely change significantly in the coming months (and not, I suspect, in Israel's favour).
What the Israeli law do with people making use of products "tainted" with BDS opinions, I have no opinion. Given, however, the general Israeli propensity for sippenhaft, I would consult with a lawyer before making use of Debian in future projects and activities. 3 Mar 2024 10:44:50 borissh1...@gmail.com: > Hi, > > While it is nice and fun to have a political discussion on how much the > debian leader is wrong, and how it hurts FOSS in general. > > I'm asking, if we as people who work with debian or contribute to it would > have a problem now in IL , US or DE. > > I for example train new developers and it guys on Debian, provide services > that use debian as the main OS, and even have done some work that > auto-package software to run on Debian, given this announcements, it is not > clear for me if I'm even it is safe to still do it now. > > On Sunday, 3 March 2024 10:11:06 IST Marc Volovic (me) wrote: >> i suggest not starting down the route of the "who did more to whom" >> measuring.
