<< Not at all, I wasn't annoyed. I was only trying to elaborate on the situation.

>>Generally speaking, I think Linux kernel is an international project, and is advertised like that several times in the past. In this case, if the government law doesn't align with the project's principle, then IMO it should move to another country. Just like the RISC-V International Association.

<< Although neither party are particularly political, their operating environments(both working in the US) currently impose this- and the cost to quickly relocate in reaction to this is not something either part would like to consider. Both have roots too deep into US soil to quickly relocate. That would take a lot of time and effort.

Don't have to with all the voices in your head.

@skyblond

So, from what I heard other Linux community members say about this is that- the foundation of the kernel distribution and development is hosted in the US and is thus governed by US law.

In order for it to be free of US law, the project and it's leads would have to be geographically independent or distributed.

Although the community is global, the core(eg. Torvalds, Greg Hartman, LinuxFoundation,RedHat,Canonical,etc) is still US-based.
