Linus Torvalds has joined the discussion about the removal from the list of Linux kernel maintainers related to Russia, stating that he will not reverse the change, noting that compliance requirements are not limited to the USA, confirmed that the reason is the sanctions against Russia, and wrote that the hysteria from random anonymous participants in the discussion will change nothing. He also stated that the need for blocking was explained to him and other maintainers by lawyers, but he will not engage in legal discussions with random individuals not involved in the kernel work, who he suspects are paid trolls.
