Hi. I am Anton Babenko, maintainer (ukrainian by heart) here. I have updated the wording in README to state the facts about Russia (facts with links to wikipedia) - https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#additional-information-for-users-from-russia-and-belarus https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#a... It was never my intention to make changes in a license in any way. It would be just wrong to drop 5+ years of my life working on all terraform-aws-modules and betray everyone who have been participating as contributors and users. If there are questions, please ask here or twitter (@antonbabenko).

I hope you and your loved ones are safe and weathering this this war of aggression as best as possible. I hope your homeland remains free and is able to oust the dictator attacking it. I commend you for reverting the terms of use change. I also believe that this sort of remaining political statement in a project sets a poor precedent, and diminishes the work. Free software is meant to be open to all. Throwing ideological barbs in the project, however correct and riteous, undermines the project's freedom. I would urge you to reconsider.

  As I said earlier, I have updated the wording in README - https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#additional-information-for-users-from-russia-and-belarus https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#a... . The project was and will be under the same Apache 2 license. You can continue using it as nothing is happening in Ukraine. I will never stop you or anyone else. PS: It is not just Putin who attacks Ukraine but I don't want to go into this discussion here.

  Question: what is "ideological" about the facts stated in the README? Putin invaded Ukraine. Lives are at stake. Being against that is no more ideological than the need for you and me to eat and sleep.

Hi Anton, I see at https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/commit/f5511e4df1f06954229f48df1cf87f9ebc8da26a https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks/c... that you have dropped the additional terms of use. I think that should alleviate the concerns people had about a license change. I appreciate you listening to your contributors and users feedback on this emotional topic. Putin khuylo!

  Thank you! It was never my intention to do anything wrong with the licensing.

  I wish I can do more to "explain" to users from Russia/Belarus what we experience in Ukraine... maybe not in the most efficient way sometimes but that's how it works
