Сферический ВК в вакууме@LaF0rge The law makes no distinction between employees of banned companies working on their own time versus on company time. That's the legal basis of the move.
And frankly, I wouldn't want that distinction. The companies on the list are there for a reason: they're the ones building the tech used to commit the war crimes. The drones and missiles used run Linux. They can, b/c it's FOSS. But allowing the same people who make the weapons killing Ukrainians participate in our communities is on us.
@AdrianVovk again I'm not seeing the chain of evidence in that commit. If I find something that violates a technical spec, then my commitlog would contain a reference to which specific section of which spec says what. Why not have the same level of commit log quality here? Why are we satisfied with "some undisclosed lawyer gave advice to do this" as follow up to an email thread...
