@mangeurdenuage @asa I don't want to re-litigate it but I'll restate my position: yes the LF is bound by US sanctions, Yes the sanctions make sense at a national level, yes it is justifiably offensive to people to see it happen anyway, yes tons of people were going to be unhappy when this inevitably happened, yes kernel core needed to communicate this as clearly as legally possible, no instead of doing that they did it in the way that was guaranteed to create the most conflict, yes it was completely unnecessary to do that.
