The title really undersells it, it seems like under a Biden Executive Order, free/open-source software will have to ban all Russian contributions. Its unclear if American developers would be allowed to contribute to Russian software like Nginx

    Right. The ones outside of the US don’t need to comply with US law. Perhaps I’m missing the point?

      Sorry I completely misread what you said. I thought you were defending the executive order because “China would do the same” I honestly have no clue how I got that from what you wrote. My bad, I agree with you.

      Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Europe also had sanctions in place against Russia at this point now as well? Seems likely this would be an issue in pretty much any NATO country not just the US.
