  > But they can be sued in western countries? In theory, bit how many open source concerns can afford to go through that? As per the text you replied to: "Unless you are a huge company there is very little you can do." > And if the won't comply they just get banned. Banned from where? The country you sue in? Good luck finding the resources to make that stock more globally. A ban might be somewhat more effective if made at a federal level in the US but would they care about a state level ban or a ban from a smaller country like the UK? A single country/state ban is not going to be terribly effective even in that country/state: who is going to enforce it at the border unless there is some national security interest involved?
