again the various reasons why FOSS software cannot be blocked for
a country

FOSS is giving freedom in Russia where there are more restrictions
by the government and how many FOSS ukraine contributors are
impacted about this "special invasion"

<div>Hello,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have to raise your attention to the fact that since
February, 23 we have a war in Europe. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Latest press releases from FSFE are:</div>
<div><br>
<dl id="gmail-press-releases">
<dt>- 2022-03-16 KDE's Okular becomes the world's first
eco-certified computer program</dt>
<dt>- 2022-03-15 Germany: 100 days of coalition agreement -
hardly one day for Free Software</dt>
<dt>- 2022-03-10 "I Love Free Software Day": Free Software
games and a SharePic generator</dt>
</dl>
</div>
<div>I understand that these news might be important. But it
looks really strange to not say a word from FSFE (Free
Software Foundation _Europe_) about the war in Europe.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, FSFE is not a polictical organisation. But what
happens now is beyond any politics. This is a full-scale war
which happens now and here, in Europe.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I feel that FSFE MUST issue an official statement about the
war and actions of Russia.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I do not know how free software activists and organizations
can contribute to the peace in a more meaningful way than by
issuing statements.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But I believe that the statement shall be made as a bare
minimum and it shall be crystal clear.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Silence is not an option.</div>
