Yeah I’m not gonna pretend to be a lawyer but I’m curious how it all works with GPL and all that. It’s open source software. Can’t a citizen from another country without these laws or something just fork there kernel and not comply with the law and state that they don’t need to follow US laws because they’re not American?
And yet another reason to abandon mercan tech.
Linus is American 🤕😭
He’s a dual citizen. He was onboard with banning Russian Linux maintainers for attacking Ukraine so they can’t sabotage the kernel.
He is however very quite on USA doing the same shit and more. 🤔
