- elpocko 2y agoWhere did those maintainers go after Linux removed them from Russia?
- syockit 2y agoMaybe Greenland?
- rurban 2y agoIt might be related to sanctions on Baikal Electronics. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35182705 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35182705
- chupasaurus 2y agoKokshaysky has nothing to do with it, probably banned for .ru TLD of his email address which is at Moscow State Uni where he has worked since 1987.
- boutique 2y agoI think it's pretty careless of GHK not to provide any references to the 'compliance requirements'. It just opens the door for all kinds of speculation and guesswork. On another note, Huawei has 42 maintainers listed in the upstream MAINTAINERS file, even with all the sanctions from the US. It's a bit puzzling, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it.
- edelbitter 2y agoAt least its not Kroah-Hartman withholding details, its lawyers failing to provide a text block that does not need to resort to ambiguity: > > > the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing > > Again -- are you under any sort of NDA not to even refer to a list of these countries? > No, but I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to go into the details that I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers. https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wjw0i-95S_3Wgk+rGu0TUs8r1jVyBv0L8qfsz+TJR8XTQ@mail.gmail.com/ https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wjw0i-95S_3Wgk+rGu0TUs8r1j... (kernel.org is down at this time; link did work earlier)
- pabs3 2y agoI wonder if they will remove any of the related code for Baikal hardware.
