Being afraid and hoping you are never forced to add code to a project you do not want to add is letting the chilling effects work as designed.

We need to all loudly and publicly say "Fuck off, I will defend my rights if needed", so they understand how expensive the fight is going to be.

Fear is power. Do not give your enemies power.

People don’t disagree with your moral position. The problem is you’re bringing a butter knife to a drone fight.

There are more effective ways protest this law than posting punk-rhetoric on a nerd forum for a project that will likely fly under the governments radar anyway.

You keep saying that, but that's not the realistic outcome. The realistic outcome isn't an injunction forcing you to add code. It'd be to force you to pull it out of circulation.
