What I'm saying is that if you want the sanctions changed, this is the wrong hill to die on, and dying on this hill won't change the sanctions. Also, the costs involved typically run into millions, I don't think any Linux developers have that to hand.

If on the other hand your issue is who is a maintainer, then fork it and set up your own maintainers.

If your issue is how it was done (i.e. lack of transparency) then there was an apology made, so either accept the apology, or keep ranting (maybe into the void)

If your issue is that the US gets to decide what their laws are, we you could try to overthrow the US, but I wish you luck.

If your issue is that laws in different countries are different, well then you're fighting the universe on that one; existence is far more complicated than what one single person can hold in their head, I'd suggest you get used to the idea that life is complicated, or to quote a lawyer "it depends".

If you think the company at hand is incorrectly being sanctioned, then write to the OFAC. But considering just the open source intel on the company supplying dual use equipment via Rosoboronpostavka it's very unlikely to be de-listed any time soon.
