@LaF0rge The law makes no distinction between employees of banned companies working on their own time versus on company time. That's the legal basis of the move.

And frankly, I wouldn't want that distinction. The companies on the list are there for a reason: they're the ones building the tech used to commit the war crimes. The drones and missiles used run Linux. They can, b/c it's FOSS. But allowing the same people who make the weapons killing Ukrainians participate in our communities is on us.
