      Russia is being sanctioned because of its aggressive war against Ukraine.

      Microsoft aren’t the bad guys for enforcing international sanctions.

        Exactly. The real issue is the sanctions against Russia. Why those sanctions involve FOSS projects, I’ll never understand.

    I mean the owners of this “Estonian” company are Russian and Belarussian (company ownership is public record here in Estonia and foreigners can easily start companies), so I wouldn’t be surprised, but I also hate how easily unsubstantiated claims spread on the Internet.
