Doesn’t free BSD not allow anyone with a Chinese or Russian sounding name already.

Sure for not but it we’ll go nowhere. Most of the kernel developers are paid developers it’s not somebody working on it in there free time.
They are not wrong though Taiwan isn’t a country. They have never declared independence their government has never officially given up their claim of being the rightful ruler of China. I have no idea why none of these have not been done.
Don’t know the decades of peace we have had is going to end sooner rather then latter. All the big countries are distancing themselves which is not good. When they where codependent on each other, times where stable. Now who knows it’s not going to be what we where used to though.
Sure go work somewhere else. Since it’s just the sanctioned companies.
Most FOSS contributions are probably done by American companies. I don’t think people realize how many kernel developers are paid by someone to go it.
But the US is never going to sanction itself.
This is the real world and you can think it ducks and it does but when your the 20000 pound gorilla in the room and there is nobody anywhere near your size you can do whatever the he’ll you want. And the US is that Gorilla. The whole world uses their tech in someway and their economy is by far the largest in the world. US is even looking at TSMC and selling chips to China cause the equipment TSMC uses to make chips is made by American companies.
Sure but they are working for sanctioned companies. Which from comments in thread are part of the Russian war machine. They do have that choice.
It is but doesn’t mean it has to apply to every country equally. This isn’t a movie everything isn’t black and white. We had a nice run where everyone was working together or are last tolerating each other, it was peaceful. But the US Russia and China are drifting further apart and becoming less reliant on each other, which sadly means it’s not going to be as peaceful going forward. Also they are not going to tolerate each other as much China Russia already have their versions of Linux distorts just imagine there might be more differences in the future.
Well it’s by far the biggest economy in the world and the whole world uses the tech developed in the US. sanction them and they could cut off your access to technology.
Sure but tech has only existed during peaceful times. With the world splitting apart you can’t assume it we’ll be the same outcome.
