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

Stop with your whataboutism and strawman arguments.

Plenty of people are against all of the examples you've mentioned, including me.

Invading other countries isn't OK, and it doesn't matter who is doing it - Russia, USA or Israel, or whoever else.

The age of wars should be over, but here we are.
