How is accepting a PR account to having a relationship with an individual. Popular OS repository would have code contribution from 1000s of contributor, it's possible that the maintainer don't personally know a majority of them. This just don't make sense.
How does this work considering PHP is heavily made up of code from Zend (which was an Israeli company) Can Iranian-built websites not use PHP?

It's possible 'usage' might not be considered a relationship, but 'interacting' with a PR might?
But I'm trying to be practical and I suspect the law was not written by anyone intending to be practical.
All the people arguing semantics when the author lives in a repressive dictatorship that would literally torture you for a confession and then execute you for it.. if anyone EVER comes by this PR even a decade from now. Meanwhile, no one here would even think of violating US export controls against North Korea... when the consequences are likely just prison time. Armchair tough guys.
> no one here would even think of violating US export controls against North Korea If there were a vibrant industrial or creative community in North Korea to interact with, I’d see the light in this argument. But there isn’t. The only entity to contract with is the state. That makes the comparison difficult. Cuba, on the other hand...
I would have said "Jerusalem" as a location could lend some ambiguity as to whether the committing user is Israeli or Palestinian, but ah...his username and profile picture certainly leaves nothing to the imagination.
I don't really understand this PR as GitHub is an American company that is forbidden to do business with Iranians. It seems weird to me to use the website but not take a PR. That said I am sympathetic to the package maintainer and I hope to never live in a place so repressive. It's scary as it is.
