#2Have you found more open-source projects that follow a similar approach to spreading information about the Ukraine-Russia conflict?
Would be nice to compile a list of them!

How is adding "Additional terms of use" not a license change? That's not just a "statement of support".

The "Additional terms of use" section makes it non-free. Compare it to the Commons Clause.

IANAL, but afaik, copyright licenses can only ever affect (re)distribution - not use.
That makes zero sense. Of course licenses regulate use. Apache2 license text literally starts with "TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION"

Which means this repo has an EULA which I'm sure is going to trigger all sorts of compliance alerts at larger companies once they learn of it.

#10As much as I hate what Russia is doing, I’d hate even more for software to come under political purviews.
If an author of a library chooses to apply political condition(however justified they may be), then the software is simply not free by definition.
I’m neither Russian nor Ukrainian. I cannot turn a blind eye simply because it doesn’t apply to me. What if another library that I use apply a license that says “those that look like this cannot use my software from now on”?
