Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers
(www.theregister.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Nobody says to ignore the law... it is Linus comments that were bad. Instead of defending the people that was working for him all these years and he had trust on them, he decided to throw them under the bus because he is from Finland. Well, Finland prospered the most on its life under neutrality.
Well I guess if he trusts them, he will welcome in open arms once the sanctions are lifted. Or if they get a non russian state domain to operate from.
With those incendiary comments he did on the people that worked for him for years... I doubt they will be back. If he did not trust them, he would have gotten rid of them years ago. He waited to the deadline to kick them out... good, so he trusted them till now... but then, he despise them from being Russian. I simply don't get it... I don't know... maybe Linus is just an ass or he was forced to say that... I think probably the first.
