        Why should this be different than the US or EU funding open source, either directly or through universities, corporations, and NGOs that often intersect with the military “industrial” financial complex?

        Try to explain why it’s different rather than pointing to their nationality and going “well, see???”

          Because Russia is under sanctions. They would have to take everything into there own hands which means they would basically have a separate project.

            That’s what a fork is. Happens all the time.

              It really doesn’t happen all the time. It is pretty rare for a fork to be successful especially if most of the development is still happening on the original project. I don’t see Russia having much success with this.

            Oh sure we agree then, was just minigun full auto posting. It’s going to be completely separate from the financial system that has most open source development under its thumb, I find that exciting.
