By your logic developers in the US shouldn’t be allowed to contribute to free software either, after all the US is committing genocides and threatening to invade other countries
Litebit@lemmy.world 1 year ago
yes, we are free to block US developers.

Well, yeah. That’s literally the point of sanctions.

The point is to damage their economy, not reject free contributions for non-critical but useful software projects

That makes sense when it harms business being done in that country, people’s opportunity to find jobs and stuff like that.
