Honestly if they don’t get paid for contributing/maintaining, they actually make Russia lose money instead of earning it because they could maintain something in a Russian company instead. It’s all a matter of perspective. Also Linus’s explanation had hate speech vibes which cannot be justified and is obviously a racist act.
If they were associated with Russian aligned companies I see no issue.
