Glad you asked. Since Sid respects the broadest interpretation, take a look at https://www.export.pitt.edu/sites/default/files/6.%20Anti-boycott%20Regulations.p

It seems like, if a VP wants to discriminate hiring within certain countries, based on a pending customer contract, as stated by Mr. Johnson - it's reasonable to assume that GitLab should report, as per the EAR requirement, that:
Any person under U.S. Jurisdiction who is asked to enter into an agreement or provide
information that would violate anti-boycott laws must report this to BIS using a form BIS-621-P
or form BIS-6051P in accordance with 15 C.F.R. § 760.5.
- bdcravens 7y agoThat's not an interpretation of sanctions, you're pulling in a second set of laws. Additionally, I'm pretty sure a country being on a boycotted list doesn't prohibit a company from making hiring decisions for reasons outside of the boycott.
- relaunched 7y agoAt best, it's a matter of law to determine what doing business in a country means. In the broadest interpretation, employing seems like doing business. Merely being asked, by a customer, is reportable and the government gets to make the determination. How to act seems like a determination / recommendation made by the head of compliance.
