Phoronix: Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted
(www.phoronix.com)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Quote taken completely out of context.
The context is that a partial descendant of an enemy species (Romulans) was the victim of a witch hunt. He was half human and a starfleet officer. He had lived in the federation his whole life.
A real world equivalent example to that would be banning Americans with Russian ancestry that were born in America and lived in America their whole lives from contributing.
That is not what's happening here. You are arguing in bad faith. Picard would be perfectly fine with preventing Romulans in the Romulan Empire from accessing/modifying sensitive technology.
How does this prevent the Russians from accessing sensitive technology? Oh it doesn't! It just excludes them from contributing to Linux, not from using it.
Accusing others from "arguing in bad faith" are we?
I don't give a shit about that. OP misused a Picard quote. Completely unacceptable.
