I think development of technology, specially, open source technology, should not be related to political affairs, when is that the very reason we are developing that technology, to get rid of the governments involvement in the open web. I thought of open source projects as the building blocks of a virtual world where none of that stuff matters. A place where everyone is the same.
The United States has boycotted Cuba for many decades, and Venezuela now. They can sanction any country just because the have the power. Foreign policies of USA should not be a critirion for developing the Linux kernel, or other applications related to it. Acceptance of contributions should be bases on the technical aspect of it.
