If they are forking it because of developers being Russian, is that not likely discriminatory? Are they forking software developed by USAmerican developers? If they are forking all major software they use, it would be natural. But if it is against one country alone, is it not discrimination? But fuck all three those countries And fuck the European countries too then, assuming that you are European and have left them out. I think most people ignore them, since they act like pro-democratic, while supporting genocides, invasions and conducting neocolonialism. Also, by not admitting remorse or apologu on evils conducted in their name. As an Indian, last week was the 107^^th^^ anniversary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, so it is recently fresh on my mind with your comment saying fuck all those 3 countries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jallianwala_Bagh_massacre Tho, I too hope my country also starts to work more on reducing dependency on foreign tech in places where it can be avoided. So, agreeing on that part.

If they are forking it because of developers being Russian, is that not likely discriminatory? absolutely but I don’t think that’s what’s going on here? or I don’t see a reason think that, they claim that onlyoffice is infringing on the original agpl license and that’s why they’re forking and from my uninformed perspective it looks valid.

They aren’t forking US tech because the US tech doesn’t pretend to be open source, so they can’t fork them. The are building Euro-Office specifically to stop reliance on US tech though, it’s not targeted at once nation, it’s targeted at all nations that try to control tech. Which is mostly the US. IDK what tangent you’re going on with the other things you’ve said, that’s off topic. But yea India, like all nations, shouldn’t rely on foreign tech for infrastructure.
