From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's a shame that Russia has dedicated not to contribute anything to the world. Maybe they should have focused on something other than theft, murder, and imperialism. Weird how the west is able to withhold the things it made, huh?

How is blocking free contributions from Russians who can still use the software "withholding" its only hurting users who don't get good contributions
