You can't call your software "free" if you prohibit Russians and Belarusians from using it or if you sabotage their computers.

Such "free software" is even worse than proprietary software, because at least they are aware of the risks of such behavior.

I am now afraid to use software from solo developers or using rolling distros like Arch.

"Yes, my software is free, but fuck you."

That's malware, can be free, whatever 😀

> prohibit [someone] from using it
That, sadly, is still free software.
On the bright side, you're also free to make changes or fork it!

No, it's not. Then it's "open software", not "free".

Sure, I can make a fork, but damn...
