I wonder if it was a good choice to let Linux be owned by a company governed by a non-neutral government who frequently imposes sanctions on other entities. And if someday people wish to transfer this to another country, will US government intervene?
I remember the times when we were proud to print pgp code in a book to circumvent US export restrictions<p>Simply bowing to a request (has there even been one?) of an overreaching government is not in the hacker spirit
