It’s obvious that Linux is now under RedHat control, who themselves are controlled by the US govt. BSD’s popularity is about to go up. I hope these Russian kernel maintainers switch to BSD, god knows BSD needs the drivers.
Why? Linux kernel is GPL, doesn’t protect it from stuff like this. At least you can be certain that Theo de Raadt isn’t going to kick people who contribute to BSD off the project based on their location. Contributors to tech projects should be chosen on merit, not ethnicity or citizenship (or any other characteristic that is irrelevant to the project).

I don’t like the BSD license very much, I am more in hope that GNU Hurd finally kicks off, but I doubt any of the two happens.
