I just wanted to say that I have the same questions, and it’s a relief to see it posted by someone with more courage. I’m too ignorant to contribute to the discussion though. I don’t know how a government or private entity could pressure a FOSS project in this way, unless that pressure was put on the project’s git platform. At which point the repo just moves elsewhere.

Okay, almost done. rm -rf ./*. Wait… pwd. Shit.

Well there are those of us who just feel we’ve done the wrong thing all the time and practically apologise just for existing. Not that that’s better.
