You can get big fines if you don't comply with sanctions though. And in the end Linux is an American foundation.

Linus was still an ass, though. All this drama is 100% his fault.

    Agreed. I would comply (US's courts can be very hard with you if you don't) but you can dismiss those Russians with honor and thank them for their contribution. Then, you can consider to move the foundation to a more free environment (Switzerland, Mexico, Spain,...)
