I'm baffled how posts related to Russian software always get politicized... Can't we just celebrate good free and open source software and leave politics out of it? Don't like who's behind it? Just fork it or don't use it at all!

Software is software, people are people and governments are governments. Stop mixing it all together, it's a hypocrites minefield. If you're feeling so righteous about the countries of who writes your software, just throw your computer out of the window.




> Software is software, people are people and governments are governments.

While that is true, it is also true, that people can easily be forced by bad acting governments to do things to the software they write.

We don't need to condemn the people in general, but we can still be wary of the product they make, while being in the influence zone of certain governments.
