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.

No, it's not like Israel is attacking its neighbors. It doesn't, does it?

It's not about punishing Russia, is admit preventing vulnerability to a country that has an ongoing effort to compromise infosec.

Not at all saying Israel doesn't suck balls right now.

a country that has an ongoing effort to compromise infosec.

Any confirmation, that these specific maintainers were compromising something?
