    What should they have done alternatively?
    Can understand them seeing it as racism towards them and wanting to oppose such things, if the fork was solely made because of the country of the developers. But the rule change seems weird.

    What would be an alternative?

      Wait, how is it racist? This has absolutely nothing to do with race?

      Russian isn’t a race, just like South-African isn’t a race.

        Aah. What would it be called?/

        If some people are grouping people in a country, and excluding them as punishment based on that ice ity, then what would it be called?

        And isn’t it bad?
        Like, would people support it if people asked for USAmerican developers to be excluded from apps aimed at children, because their president and former rulers were in groups with the pedo-trafficker Epstein and where they are even using a war(also for petrodollar, so not one objective only) to draw away attention?
        Or started forking apps to exclude such developers?

        What would it be called? Discrimination based on country of origin?

          I saw your other response.

          There is no evidence of national selectivity or “racism” involved here, you seem to be interpreting this yourself. The fact that this is about an EU-related fork is a coincidence.

          It is the highjacking of the license to restrict the implied spirit of freedom is what is at issue here.
