Re: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements.

Although this commit has been merged, it's still important to know the specific reason (or even an example) that triggered this change for everyone here, right?

And those maintainers who have been removed should be notified.

It should be CC'd everyone who might need to be aware of this change, including the removed maintainers, other maintainers on the subsystem, and the subsystem's mailing list.

To ensure transparency.

Seconded.

This patch is one such instance where we find ourselves questioning the 
legitimacy and indeed, the feasibility, of an international, open, and 
open source project. Vagueness breeds distrust.

It's not difficult to deduce what the "various compliance requirements" 
are and I'm sure Greg is aware of this. The Linux Foundation, if 
interested in continuing their governance role over the Linux kernel, 
should be ready to explain themselves over this decision. Greg and 
Linus, I'm not sure if I'm ready to believe that this is supposed to be 
a political show - but if this is the case, please leave the ground for 
the Foundation - they should be the one responsible and receiving the 
scrutiny (or insult, as I'm sure many - myself included - find this 
patch insulting).

So I repeat - call the decision-makers out and ask for their 
explanation.

Best Regards,
Mingcong Bai

[PATCH] Revert "MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements."

[Kexy Biscuit]

This reverts commit 6e90b675cf942e50c70e8394dfb5862975c3b3b2.

An absolutely no-one-ever-reviewed patch, not even by the maintainers who
got removed themselves - at least not on the mailing list. Then the patch
just got slipped into an unrelated subsystem pull request, and got pulled
by Torvalds with not even a comment.

What about the next time? Who next would be removed from the MAINTAINERS
file, the kernel.org infrastructure? What if the compliance requires
another XZ backdoor to be developed without further explanation? Is the
kernel development process still done in public?

Are the "compliance requirements" documented on docs.kernel.org? Who are
responsible for them? Are all that are responsible employees of
The Linux Foundation, which is regulated by the U.S. legislature?

Fixes: 6e90b675cf94 ("MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements.")

No, no, no. Nuh, uh.

Greg has unfortunately decided to respond in private over a matter that 
by no means should be glossed over. Here below is our conversation:

Request declined. Your response is now public knowledge (and hey, if 
this is not by your will, my apologies). Again, this matter requires 
public response.

Sorry, but that's not how this is allowed to work.  Please contact your
company lawyers if you have any questions about this.  And this only
affects maintainers, as you aren't listed in the MAINTAINERS file, there
should not be any issue, but again, contact your company if you have any
questions as they know what is going on.

Just *wink* if you were compelled into this.

Re: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements.

[WangYuli]

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1619 bytes --]

Haha, I received a similar off-list reply.

I deeply sympathize with Greg-kh's situation and his unspoken 
difficulties, although I don't understand why the MAINTAINERS file, as 
part of the kernel code, should be off-limits to non-maintainer 
developers, especially when this clearly isn't just about 'modifying the 
MAINTAINERS file.'

If any Linux developer tacitly approves of this, they're essentially 
giving a green light to some shady political actors from a certain 
country to coerce people into betraying it's constitution.

That's absurd. Again, my heart goes out to all (including Greg-kh) that 
affected by this.

I mean no offense to anyone, but this action will completely destroy the 
trust that developers worldwide have in the Linux kernel project and the 
entire Linux Foundation, and the politicians forcing you to do this 
clearly don't care about that.

To avoid becoming pawns in a political game and to prevent alienating 
all the developers who have contributed to the Linux kernel, I sincerely 
suggest that you maintainers revert this commit and promise not to do 
something like this again.

And I urge everyone who agrees that this is unreasonable to reply to 
"[PATCH] Revert "MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various 
compliance requirements." with their own "Reviewed-by".

Remember: What sets humans apart from animals is our undying spirit of 
resistance. We cannot be domesticated or tamed by others.

Finally, I'd like to share a quote from Norse mythology: Only warriors 
who die in battle are worthy of entering Valhalla.

Seconded. I'm no Linux kernel developer, but as a user, I would still like
to know the reason behind a bunch of maintainers getting erased. I wouldn't
go as far as to claim that I sense malice, but there's definitely something
fishy. I would like a proper, public statement about what happened and why.

I think there are no regulations on earth preventing itself from being 
referenced.
Even if the regulation prevents further communication with affected bodies,
the wider community still deserves an explanation.

As a person with M entries I found this behavior appalling. It shakes mutual
trust between maintainers, as we all assumed that patches being applied are
well scrutinized.

Besides, many of us are working on kernel as hobbyist  in a personal 
capacity.
That means we don't have access to lawyers, especially US one. While I 
understand
corporate participants may be the majority of the community, please 
don't leave
hobbyists behind!

I've had some interactions with some of people being removed here, and I 
would
say they are all brilliant individuals. It's  really sad to see them 
being turned away :-(

Greetings again (oops),

I messed up the reference levels when I sent my disclosure. Jiaxun got 
most of the references right but the last sentence.

For the record, I wrote that unprofessional sentence ("Just *wink*"), 
since it was private.

>>Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements. They can
come back in the future if sufficient documentation is provided.

Greg,

Among the all possiblities you had, you've chosen the most disgusting
and shady way of doing this, with no attempt at least moving them to
CREDITS - the thing they rightfully deserve for their efforts.

As a person with M entries i deeply disrespect the removal and whe way
it was done.

Re: [PATCH] MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements

[jisralbasha]

Dear Greg and other LF members,

I'm writing to express my serious concerns about the recent removal of entries from the MAINTAINERS file without proper explanation. While I understand the statement cited "various compliance requirements," this vague justification is deeply troubling.

Blindly complying with demands for obscure changes sets a dangerous precedent. What happens next time? Will we see further removals, modifications, or even additions driven by external pressures rather than the best interests of the project and its community?

This incident raises fundamental questions about the autonomy and integrity of our open-source project.  Should we be at the mercy of unspecified "compliance requirements" that could potentially lead to harmful actions, such as:

"Update some entries due to various compliance requirements." (and explode some Russian laptops like pagers in Lebanon, or disable all intel processors in sanctioned countries).

I strongly urge the LF to reconsider this approach and prioritize transparency and community engagement in all decision-making processes. This includes providing detailed explanations for any future changes to critical project files like MAINTAINERS. Additionally, we should explore strategies to mitigate external pressures and ensure the long-term health and independence of our project.

P.S. Keep communications public

Re: [PATCH] Revert "MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements."

Please consider how a neutral maintainer would perceive these commit
messages; if they sign off on this commit, what does it mean?

I recommend focusing on factual information rather than inciting
emotions. Including these statements in the commit message may not
be the best approach to gaining objective support. I suggest removing
these two paragraphs and submitting a revised patch v2.

Otherwise, it looks good to me.

These should be answered publicly, but IMHO too emotional to be included
in commit message.

As a newcoming contributor, I work on some ARM SoCs unpaid. It's really
a neat thing to write useful stuff for others, but this sort of removal
is weakening my and definitely others' trust to maintainers: people's
rights to maintain stuff written by themselves got removed silencely.
It doesn't sound like a good sign to me.

We need an explanation. The patch except the last paragraph looks good
to me.

We know why this has been done, and we also know who is behind that 
decision.

(It's mentioned right above this reply.)


I find it pretty much shameful behaviour to not communicate openly on 
the reasons why those entries got removed (or did someone have to sign a 
NDA?).

The fact that the only information is "various compliance requirements" 
already tells a lot about the real reasons.


Move the Linux Foundation to another country, please.


Signed,

a Linux user.

Re: [PATCH] Revert "MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements."

[Linus Torvalds]

Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.

It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting
reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to
"grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change
anything.

And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm
accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US
thing.

If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read
the news some day.  And by "news", I don't mean Russian
state-sponsored spam.

As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call
brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian
aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of
history knowledge too.

I am not a lawyer, but my understanding is that sanctions means you can
not buy things from them, sell things to them, or otherwise exchange
money.  It does NOT mean you are forbidden from emailing them or
mentioning their email address.

And even if, somehow, legally they must be removed from their maintainer
role, the commit doing it should still be clear.

Re: [PATCH] Revert "MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements."

[Peter Cai]

Hi there,

Not a maintainer, but I have made several bug reports using this email 
address. At least 1 reasonably-sized patch is also currently under 
review in the networking mailing list, along with people from several 
American corporations, so hopefully you won't automatically assume this 
email came from a "Russian troll" account.

Ok. With that out of the way, if you still want to bother reading, 
here's why, in the most un-provocative tone possible, why your comments 
_completely_ miss the point why people are upset:

Yes. Everybody who has more than 1 brain cell knows, in general, "why". 
The point was never to ask for the obvious response.

People are upset because no reference to _exactly which compliance 
requirement_ resulted in the removal of these maintainers. No 
open-source project can live outside of a political entity, but that is 
not the reason why "obviously" can be used to write off such a change.

Even just stating "we were contacted by <...> but details are under NDA" 
is a **much** better response than "due to various compliance 
requirements". No one is saying the LF or the Linux kernel should be 
outside of politics. That's impossible. But it _is_ possible to run the 
project based on _transparency_ and _honesty_ instead of "why can't you 
see the obvious".

Again -- are you under any sort of NDA not to even refer to a list of 
these countries?

Before calling out community members who raised legit concerns about 
procedural transparency, maybe it is worth doing a quick fact-check. 
There are a lot of suspicious looking `.ru` emails in this thread, but 
they are not who first raised the concern. The revert patch was sent out 
by someone at aosc.io. Look up who they actually are -- and before you 
assume "state-sponsored spam" just because of the language of the 
website, maybe you can also spend more than 1 second to check where the 
website is even actually located.

I hope that either this comment wasn't written by the real Linus 
Torvalds, or that Linus was not under his best judgement when this email 
was sent. Because just like anyone who reads the news would know about 
Russian aggression, anyone who knows anything about politics should also 
be able to understand that individuals and their states are different 
concepts.

If these maintainers are associated with the Russian state, this should 
be cited as the reason for their removal. And you know what? Most people 
wouldn't have any problem with it. And then you can say "we are not 
supporting Russian aggression" with confidence. But this is **not** what 
was done.

I seriously hope that Linus Torvalds would have known better.

Thanks,
Peter.

No, but I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to go into the details that
I - and other maintainers - were told by lawyers.

I'm also not going to start discussing legal issues with random
internet people who I seriously suspect are paid actors and/or have
been riled up by them.

This has never been a legal discussion, but a procedural transparency 
discussion. You could simply say "our lawyer didn't ok this", and that's 
perfectly fine. No one is going to argue against that.

Your action up until now is also exactly what a hypothetical paid actor 
would have wanted to see happening -- it's not helping **understanding** 
but rather only extending argument on what would have been a quick response.

Calling everyone "paid actors" don't help. If you have more than 1 
minute to waste, I am under my most regularly-used internet handle to 
respond to you. So has the person who sent the original "revert" patch.

Running a quick grep on the other mailing lists and their commits may 
also have helped answer that.

Thanks,
Peter.

I'm getting tired of reading this type of accusations.

It's true that I'm just a random unimportant Linux user following the

Re: [PATCH] Revert "MAINTAINERS: Remove some entries due to various compliance requirements."

[NotYourFox]

Dear Linus,

Yet another of probably a million "actual innocent Russian bystanders" 
is here. For quite a reason. While I do not contribute to Linux kernel, 
I am a long-time user of Linux and a big fan of FOSS. You may consider 
it a spam, and it might as well be, but this just blew up our IT-related 
media.
I am, or, rather, many of us are disappointed in the way you put 
politics over software freedom now.
This move did nothing against Russian aggression, but rather 
disappointed a lot of us, who don't support or have anything to do with 
the ongoing war. The contributors you dropped for, as it seems, no 
reason other than "compliance requirements" have done some actual work 
to improve Linux, so kicking them for apparently just being from Russia 
is... just plain discrimination.
If that's the law you have to follow, go on. If it's your own actual 
choice - you need to revisit what "free software" means.

If I am blatantly wrong about all this, knowing it would only be a balm 
for my soul.

Dear Linus Torvalds,


We are not paid actors. Most of us here are just common kernel

developers or Linux users expressing our own opinions about the

removal commit.


I can fully understand your disapproval of Russian aggression. However,

the true responsibility for the war lies with the ruler, not these innocent

developers, right? Removing them from the MAINTAINERS file neither

really assists Ukraine nor cripples Russia. Those who are removed are just

developers, not politicians or soldiers. On the contrary, this silent 
removal

will damage our trust in the transparency of kernel development.

So we should remove Israeli developers too, because Israel is committing aggression and genocide.

Since you haven't defined _how_ it was used, you are mistaken.
In the 70-x Soviets did a lot of experiments with nuclear and
you may find an information about, e.g., the underground nuke
in the Donetsk (Donbass if speaking of coal mines) region in order
to see if it improves the efficiency of the coal mining. It didn't,
and as a consequences it becomes exactly the use against civilians.

I really did not want to get involved as well, but Finland (together 
with Germany) also participated in the horrific Siege of Leningrad which 
lead to immeasurable suffering of its population:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Leningrad

This is something that many modern Russians living in Saint-Petersburg 
(ex-Leningrad) can relate to. Am I going to blame Linus or the Finnish 
nation for that? Of course not! Because I am not an idiot or a racist. 
And I can use something that Linus has mentioned previously - brains. 
Can you please do the same, Linus?

This really turned ugly, please stop trying to use history as your moral 
compass. Also, if you'd like to place a collective guilt on the whole 
group of people for past or present wrongdoings I would like to quote 
the words of famous Holocaust survivor and psychiatrist Viktor Frankl: 
"Collective guilt does not exist":

If you did, you'd knew that their defence ended in 1940 with peace treaty.

Surely, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New-Zealand and Union of South Africa delcared war on Finland in 1941, because Finland was "defending", right?

Linus, Greg,

First of all thanks to you for taking by far not the most harmful actions to achieve what your lawyers very kindly asked you to do.

Unfortunately, already a lot of highly qualified people have started thinking that you acted very badly. Of course, there are questions like why removed maintainers were not properly notified and did not receive any additional explanations, but, to my mind, it is useless to try to find 100% justice -- it is not possible. Overton windows has been opened a bit more.

Usually the first contribution is much harder to make then the following ones. A big problem here is that now many people even will not try to contribute to the Linux kernel and other open source projects: their pride for themselves, their homeland, their colleagues has been severely hurt (we are ready to fight for all that).

It is not clear what to do with this problem. Any ideas?

I am sure that people from any country and of any nationality will have similar feelings if you act with them or their colleagues in a similar way.

Thanks to people who were not afraid to say something against this action. Chinese, Latin American, African and other people probably understand that they may be the next ones to be dropped from maintainers. Hope that we will not have to form another Linux kernel upstream one day...

I am sorry that you have to read a lot of text from people who you call trolls -- it is hard to keep calm.

You know, you have really made it much harder to motivate people to contribute into the kernel. There is such problem among developers of hardware that they do not feel comfortable enough to show their code, for example because they think that it is not perfect. Let’s take Baikal Electronics. They do publish their kernel code, but in a form of tarballs without git. They slowly, but constantly worked on contributing support of their hardware into the upstream kernel, fixing not Baikal-related bugs by the way. One day someone told them that “we are not comfortable with accepting your patches”. And they stopped their work on upstream. Now that man has been removed from maintainers of previously contributed code (code for not Russian hardware, by the way).

What do I suggest to do? Well, I don’t know, but I do not see direct legal reasons why doing this was required and why patches from Baikal could not be accepted (the fact that I do not see does not mean that they do not exist, but please show them). Politicians and activists can be shown a finger in some places, by both developers and lawyers, at least to prevent them from being too ambitious, when they decide to break something working next time... But maybe I do not know something about truly democratic regimes :-)

Thanks for reading.

Hi folks,

I also do not consider what's happened here as normal. The maintainers
removal stands against the key principles and values of our GNU/Linux
communities and the FOSS ideology. Values and ideas most of us have been
protecting and advocating for since we can remember!

This hurt so badly! Really. This is betrial.

Even if this is now reverted, or the upstream kernel is forked and a new
upstream kernel repository is elected, the history of it will remain and
haunt us all.

Turned out our beloved and "free" as in freedom kernel has been
compromised by compliance to a government.

But this is the Linux kernel, how could this have happened?! It is used,
improved and copied all over the world, not just one country! Why did we
let this happen?

This is a precedent that tells everybody what can come next, due to
"compliance" reasons the kernel could receive code produced by a
government institution that serves not the Linux community, but the
governement.

Surely it is not just me thinking towards what can change so we never
again have to comply to a government of a country when fighting for
freedom!

FSF, any comments on this?

Resist!

+rms and fsf

Thanks,
Nikolay

Of course it's not going to be reverted, and I don't mind.

I do however mind about the fact that you accuse contributors (however 
minimal their contributions were, like in my case) of being "Russian 
trolls" using "multiple accounts".

I would have thought that a man of your stature, knowledge and 
publicity, wrote a more sensible, neutral comment than that childish 
gibberish you produced.
Such comments can be seen in the hundreds on every major news website's 
comment section.
Unfortunately, this is now common discussion standard at least in the 
Western world:

"You don't agree with X? You must be a Y!"

There is no doubt that there are Russian troll factories - but there is 
equally no doubt that there are Western troll factories. Without them, 
this "game" wouldn't work.

You could just have done a simple 'git log --grep="Name"' to find out 
that most of those people who you accused of being trolls are actually 
not trolls. Because trolls do not contribute.

Of course not. It's a USUKEU thing. Or, dare I say, a thing of the 
unipolar anglo-american empire. There is no way around a multipolar 
world order if we as humans want to progress.

Why didn't you (or Greg) elaborate on the "various compliance 
requirements" in the first place?
You could just have said:

"Due to the sanctions against Russia, we as a US-based foundation are 
required to abide and therefore we have to remove some maintainers that 
are thought to be directly collaborating with the current regime" (I 
specifically used a "Western" language).
That, at least, would have been somewhat honest, though still hypocrite.

And I did read through (most of) these EU compliance requirements 
because of my job (not IT), so I'm not *that* clueless.

The sanctions are absurd anyway - I don't remember that the US had been 
sanctioned because of their illegal invasion of [insert country of your 
choice]. US athletes excluded from the Olympics?? How dare you?

I also don't remember that France or UK had been sanctioned because they 
abused their UN mandate to get rid of Gaddafi.

The "country" Kosovo, created by a war, isn't even recognized by all EU 
member states!

And don't even get me started on that Eastern Mediterranian country that 
can commit the worst atrocities without ever getting seriously sanctioned.

Meanwhile, we sanction Iran (hasn't started a war in ages), Cuba (hasn't 
started a war in ages), North Korea (hasn't started a war in ages) etc.

The Western arrogance and decadence is disgusting, and I say that as a 
born and bred Western European.

I'm already more than fed up with the state-sponsored spam on German TV 
- and I even have to pay for that BS!
Now, I don't know how it is in Finland because I don't follow Finnish 
news due to a total lack of language knowledge.

I wish my country would quit NATO, and then I see that Finland *joined*. 
Sorry, but I don't understand. No NATO, no war in Ukraine.
Even as late as 2013, Russia and Ukraine did naval manoevers in the 
Black Sea - together!

This war is sooo totally unnecessary. Maybe you should ask Vicky "F!ck 
the EU" Newland why this all happened.

Why do you even mention your nationality?
Just a few weeks ago, I read about the role of Finland in (and before) WW2.
I don't think there is a big lack of history knowledge on my side.

My country was occupied by Germany twice, in 1914 and in 1940.
And yet, I have absolutely no bad feelings about either Germany as a 
country nor Germans as a people. OK, their government is the worst since 
1945, but that's a different matter.

Wasn't Mannerheim married to a Russian? Eh?

The former German Minister of Foreign Affairs, Guido Westerwelle, once 
talked about "late Roman decadence", albeit in a different context.

And yet, he was totally right even in other contexts. The Western world 
is actually in the state of "late Roman decadence".
And what follows after that decadence? Right, the downfall. And it might 
be a huge chance to create a better, more equitable world.
