So I saw on this post the upsetting information that fedora is blocked on cuba, and I Wanted to check if the same was true of the downstream distributions, in particular open SUSE tumbleweed, as well.

Edit: By what it seems they put it there more as a way to reduce liability(once the us trade embargoes seem to include most anything with US developed technology, although I do not understand that very well or if it does apply to open source stuff), in case the US comes a looking, because it does not describe any tools or measures to prevent it, in fact it even states that it is not geoblocked anywhere.

Oh I sure I could but I like suse a bit and if it is not true that it blocks distribution I wouldnt reconsider using it, and would still feel alright recommending it when it suits the needs of the person in question, but the lack of an equivalent legal page on suse's site, left me unsure of where to look for that information
