    No the contributors should not be considered guilty until proven innocent just to give Linus et al the benefit of the doubt fuckface!

      Oh geez, this the third reply by the same account… Again, I’m just saying that we don’t know whether the contributors were assumed guilty, or if they have actual ties to sanctioned companies.

        I’m pretty talkative on certain subjects when I see people mangling the discussion and engaging in bad faith.

        This is just softpedaling it and telling people to suspect foul play just because they are Russian honestly. There are some significant sanctions going up against Israeli companies but nobody seems concerned with that.

          No, I’m telling people not to suspect anything, because we don’t know anything.

            I think what we know paints a really bad picture and Torvalds should not get the benefit of the doubt while trying to silence his detractors by calling them Russian bots.

              @griefstricken @Vincent I think bottom line is that it’s bad for the open source community and something a grown adult like Linus should know better than to do even if it means moving his foundation to another nation. You can’t be as critical to the open source movement and then bow to political pressures like this. The last estimate of Linus’s personal worth was placed at 50 million, so not like he can’t afford to move.
