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.
