I have no idea whether we can = engage > with these patches or not. I don't think anyone here can offer any legal advice. We did reach out to the SFC they never replied directly. They did however publish the following blog post: https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2024/dec/12/linux-banned-russian-contribut= ors-do-i-need-to/ but you should probably check with your own orgs lawyers about what you should do. We have additional email domains blocked from our mail servers to avoid accidental interaction but they don't interact with MAINTAINERS which was the motivating factor for this patch (because of processing PRs and automatic cc's from get_maintainers.pl). > > > Thanks, > > Daniel > > > [1] https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-riscv/20250227144200.69270-1-saveliy.mot= ov@syntacore.com/ > > > > On 2/26/25 11:03 AM, Alex Benn=C3=A9e wrote: >> The following organisations appear on the US sanctions list: >> Yadro: >> https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/Details.aspx?id=3D41125 >> ISPRAS: https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/Details.aspx?id=3D50890 >> As a result maintainers interacting with such entities would face >> legal risk in a number of jurisdictions.
