Its an open source python script that doesn't really fit that description

  Do you think you would enjoy the process of trying to convince a court that their laws don't apply to python scripts? (they do, btw)

    The fact you need to ask whether an open source python script needs a court to prove its a product and the lack of certainty is how FUD works. - What if you fork it, edit it, re-publish it as yours? - And what if other anti virus vendors do this?

      The fact that you think you can just handwave away legal obligations like this with common sense is certainly telling. It says you don't know what you're talking about. You could reasonably assert that the government's ban of Kaspersky's software is motivated by FUD. However the ban itself is very real, violating the ban can get you into a world of trouble, so warning people to stay out of trouble for violating that ban is not FUD. Explained by analogy: Them: "Smoking marijuana can get you into trouble with the government." You: "That's just FUD, it's a harmless plant from my garden, it's not going to hurt me."

        I just don't think you understand the laws deeply. You seem to indicate you know what you're talking about and I think you do, but your understanding is surface level, i.e it is someone else in your organisation who told you how these work.
