Blocking EU IPs would go against the open source definition and the Debian social contract; discrimination against groups of people.

- throwaway231228 3y agoNo, it would not. Both are concerned with non-discriminatory _licensing._ That would remain the case. Neither of those documents obligate anyone to provide the specific service of providing downloads to anyone else, or providing any act of distribution at all. Nevertheless, not being able to access the Debian servers would be most unfortunate.
- pabs3 3y agoDefinitely disagree there. Debian blocking EU access would be ineffective too, there is a large network of third-party mirrors.
