Should open source sniff the geopolitical wind and ban itself in China and Russia?

Re: Keep politics out of open source

Exactly!

If it did take a politicl stance, who decides what? Who decides which side to support? Who decides "good guys and bad guys"?

No, a quagmire lies that way, just stay out and carry on. FOSS is just a tool like a drill, saw or knife. People pick up tools and they decide what to do with them, not the manufacturer. To put it more crudely, "Guns don't kill people, rappers do!".
