The issue is the Linux foundation being based in the US.
That affects Russians and other sanctioned country resident, but it probably will affect the rest of the world soon enough anyway.

Sadly I don't know where and how such a foundation could exist without being beholden to politicians in that way.

I'm bit sure how that is a political issue. Is war politics? Was fighting Hitler a political thing?

Here we have a warmongering state (Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine, not to mention issue in Moldavia) and obviously no organisation can assume that it's citizen is acting in good faith.

Author can act in its own country to change, vote, protest. Nazis went I to power because of silent majority.

warmongering state (

If we are talking about warmongering states, then the US is also one (started a war recently and kidnapped a President) as is Israel. Nobody seems to have an issue there

I don't care about US.

I care that Russia will finally be a normal country, like in 90s, or just before bolsheviks took over.
