I was told by a colleague yesterday that one of the highly specialized scientific softwares they rely on is no longer available at their university because the developers are Russian.<p>The devs are not state assets and don't support war. They're just regular citizens and experts in their fields, like you or me.<p>This is the sort of high pressure, low impact isolation tactic that tends to backfire as it escalates. Already, they've contacted the developers to apologize and request temporary licenses to run on their home computers.
