Linus Torvalds In the discussion about removing Russian maintainers

from the Linux kernel Linus Torvalds himself chimed in. He refused to reverse his decision, stating that compliance requirements aren’t just a U.S. thing and that sanctions against Russia are no laughing matter. “I’m not here to debate legal issues with random trolls who might just be on someone’s payroll,” he added. It seems even the lawyers told him to keep his distance from anyone not involved in kernel work, as it could be hazardous—not just for computers, but for his sanity too!
