EFF has expressed an interesting view on the code aspects, asking that the judicial actions don't mix the (GitHub open) software and the use which is made of it (the mixer) so as to respect "code free speech" (an unusual concept outside of the US). https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/08/code-speech-and-tornado-cash-mixer In any event the story is not finished.
