I think this is not exactly the point. I never thought that license would fight rocket. Nor I thought that an authoritarian regime would respect license.

The first point affects more countries and companies that still keep ties with those regimes.

The second point is to have a clear position. For me it is hypocritical to say “open source for a better world” at the same time that we say “how my contributions are used is not my problem”.

I bet with you that commo libraries like slf4j, junit, poetry, fastapi, etc. are being used by those regimes and their associates very often. Make a license more restrictive would create legal problems for any legitimate foreign entity to buy from those regimes. If they opt to re-inplement those libraries, it’s fine as well: tons of resources and money expended by those jerks.

Even commercial licenses are problematic to enforce, I know. But send a clear message seems a point where our hands can reach and worth to pursue.

What would you expect from President Musk and his craving for rare-earth, and his dog, Donnie T, shaking his tail back to US Oligarchs? Off course Ukraine would be the side loosing everything while Donnie and Vlad would rejoices in more wealth.

I support and share most of your opinions. She is a huge bigot and should be accountable for her actions. My only point is that we have kids and teenagers still consuming her books and products that are completely unaware of what is happening and shouldn’t be called out because of that.

I think I am old because I liked it a lot and I could see myself using that.

That is the correct answer

Although I think the support to Israel (which I am against too) does not play a role in the sake of this argument, I agree with you: it independent scientists couldn’t find scientific evidences to support that, spies are for sure not reliable.
