Russian Police Raid Nginx Moscow Office
- asebold 7y agoWhat are the implications of this? It’s a US based company, does Rambler Group really have control over all of nginx now?
- codeddesign 7y agoNo, that would be impossible. The best they can do is seize the company assets that are located within Russia. Be aware that the creator and CTO have both been detained. It seems more like government over-reach than anything. It's also opensource, so likely a lot of government over-reach and not really planned out. Knowing very well how Moscow works, money speaks. A large corporation could easily purchase a warrant and raid. (money controls actions, not policy)
- lazyant 7y agoAuthor arrested, this is terrible
- jhabdas 7y agoThis is why you should be cautious working on open source when you're under an employment contract or in school. It may not be your code despite what seems fair.
- aaomidi 7y agoThis is why we should not put up with draconian contracts and if necessary protest and overthrow governments that don't want to get rid of them. Stop being complacent with people taking advantage of you.
