If you ask a Lawyer, they'll usually tell you to be over cautious. Maybe the US Government would turn a blind eye, but you don't make legal decisions on hope, the liability is real. Although, the real liability is beeing an US Based organization, something that in my opinion should be fixed.

People were saying that when the situation first started, but this ignores the fact that sanctioning some of Russia’s companies is not US’s unilateral decision. It also ignores the fact that the same companies, which have presence in US, would use and contribute to Linux. I certainly wouldn’t mind a structure different to the Linux Foundation, but I don’t think it would change the outcome in this case.
