So maybe better give Putin more hugs like Modi did? LOL.

IANAL but this change doesn't seem to make sense from any sort of "sanctions" perspective. Sure, block sanctioned countries from accessing your website or registry, etc - that makes sense. But removing providers? That doesn't seem to be related. The thing that makes this *super* f'd up is the fact that #1 - There is no commentary from the group members explaining this or what the policy change is (the few linked TSC…

An eye for an eye prevents further harm, so let's be sensible.

I am amazed at how quickly that issue gathered all those comments, all with more thumbs up than I've even seen for one of these GitHub dramas.

Right? Almost as if it's some sort of brigading. Very surprised to see how many Russian developers care about this.

and I'll bet most of them are like "TotallyJoeMcNuggets" with .ru emails and <10 repositories that are either scraping or CTF tasks or anti-malware tools.

So, you are saying, OpenTofu is like Russia, and can use scummy methods. Basically, this is OK for closed dictatorship.

But there are a lot of "good" people, supporting Ukrainians, that still claiming that ClosedTofu is open source.

So, basically, it is about hypocrisy. Either you are voting that OpenTofu is same garbage as Russia, so it can use scummy things, either you are saying that OpenTofu should be open source, and this change should be reverted.

And if you saying, that OpenTofu is still open source, and do not revert that change, then, well, you are just hypocrite with low brain activity.
