    Linux Fundarion is based in America. It needs to follow its rules and politics. I guess a lot of things will happen after this. As something so important for open technology like It , should be based in a more open, mor asvanced in laws and neutral territory.

      Linus is from Finland. Not hard to remember reasons for aversion to Russian propaganda for anyone raised near it.

      Blanketing the Linux Foundation as American based kind of sounds like you’re a Russian troll.

        Calling out others as a Russian troll sound like a technique to shift scrutiny onto others.

        Exactly what a Russian troll would do!

        You would think someone from Finland would know better that, when you are so close to a power you don’t like, the best way to prosper is by keeping neutrality,… look at Finland in the 60s-00s, Singapore, Austria… or you choose to pick the Ukrainian, Filipino and Cuban path…

      This is hardly the first time the core Linux code stack has been forked and independently developed. Seems like this is going to invite a Russia-specific development environment that just pulls in updates from the main branch and adds in Russia-internal development (which will likely then be copied by non-Russians and backloaded into the core Linux stack under someone else’s name, because why waste good dev work?)

      But the argument appears to be anyone with a Russian-sounding name is getting removed from the core development team, until they can prove to the American team that they aren’t… spooks, I guess? Also

      The driver code to which the dropped maintainers contributed remains in place.

      So this isn’t such a high security risk that the code is being pulled (presumably because its been vetted and appears beyond repute). This is purely a CYA move to eliminate veterans on the team because they were forthright about their identities.

      should be based in a more open, mor asvanced in laws and neutral territory.

      Its not clear how a policy of booting people based on their surnames accomplishes this.
