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

So we need a non-military license. Sounds easy enough, since we already have a non-commercial one.

The thing is, I'm willing to bet chinese companies don't care about NC anyway since no individual or even company would dare sue.

Which makes the only option to stop a rogue government a backdoor in your code, but that raises massive issues on its own.

I suppose there is no way to win with FOSS here... At least releasing for all sides makes it fair
