No one is asking me to add code to stagex right now, so there is no actual legal situation I am in.
I am not even an owner of the project, I founded the project, but am now just one of many volunteer contributors. Are they going to mandate wikipedia volunteers alter pages to state guidelines as well?
We must not be afraid of stuff like this. It is blatant overreach I do not expect would stand legal challenge.
I am simply saying I would refuse to write code I do not want to write. I am honestly surprised people think this is such a scary thing to say.
The point of saying this publicly is not in order to harm or help my own defense of a court order from another state I will probably get.
It is to signal to legislators that if they decide to take this fight, it will be done with people not afraid to do it all in public to establish public trust. It is not even okay that people -think- it is possible for our FOSS projects to be altered or backdoored by any random state officials.
What next, asking Torvalds to add KYC to the kernel?
