Aah. What would it be called?/ If some people are grouping people in a country, and excluding them as punishment based on that ice ity, then what would it be called? And isn’t it bad? Like, would people support it if people asked gor USAmerican developers yo be excluded from apps aimed at children, because their president and former rulers were in groups with the pedo-trafficker Epstein and where they are even using a war(also for petrodollar, so not one objective only) to draw away attention?

It’s technically xenophobia, russophobia if it’s targeted at russians, but honestly racism is a good enough descriptor for anyone to understand what you’re talking about. The name “euro-office” comes from the companies targeting this product for the european public sector who has finally (much too late imo) started to attempt to liberate itself from the yankee software giants grip. You can see at the bottom of the readme Is Euro-Office just for Europeans? Isn’t open source without borders? Open Source is an international movement, and we are definitely open to contributions by anyone, anywhere! All code will be judged on its merits, not on its origin, and receive equal review. And, of course, anyone is welcome to use Euro-Office in line with the provisions in the AGPLv3 license! github.com/Euro-Office

I don’t think people are discriminating against Russians. They just recognize that we can’t depend on Russian tech. Most people don’t have issues with Russians, Americans, Chinese etc. But fuck all three those countries, and we should not rely on either of their tech, and cut out dependencies on their tech, especially in the government sector.
