@LaF0rge Well, Switzerland also sanctions Russia.
Getting supranational status for a FLOSS org and its contributors including a certain level of diplomatic immunity seems, uhm, highly ambitious?
Kernel.org is also a 501(c)3 organization and likely (IANAL) subject to similar requirements.
The whole point of these sanctions is to be, uh, an imposition on the target countries, including their citizens.
I'm really not sure what anyone was expecting in a world where nations are a thing (still)?

@larsmb The quetsion IMHO is less whether there are sanctions against Russia[n entities], but whether those sanctions really prevent the kind of collaboration you see in FOSS projects like the Linux kernel. I fully understand sanctions in the traditonal trade sanctions sense if there was any payment or other transfer of funds for services/goods.
