As a less cynical take: When it comes to Ukraine support, the banner could theoretically have an anti-propoganda effect. Russian and Chinese citizens are cut off or pushed away from world political discourse in a lot of ways, so using open source libraries as a vector for anti-Russia messaging could have a real effect on devs in those countries.

Two counterpoints: 1) the kind of people that use open-source libraries are one of the most plugged into the world political discourse parts of the population (BTW I am not sure that this is unequivocally a good thing, this "discourse" is just another brand of propaganda at this point) and 2) If some random open-source maintainer from across the ocean starts lecturing me that I am guilty of not overthrowing Putin or, worse, wipes my hard drive, I'm not going to be moved by this, I'm just going to think that this person is out of touch and be really annoyed.
