这肯定是开源历史上会被记住的一笔。
Linux的内核二把手Greg Kroah-Hartman发布了一个补丁,这个补丁把十几个来自俄罗斯的内核维护者给删除了。
Greg Kroah-Hartman表示,这是基于各种合规性的要求。
至于是什么合规性的要求,那就没有多说了。
有人询问了合规性要求到底是什么,Greg Kroah-Hartman一直都没回应。
比如说,有人这样说:

This is very vague...
What are "various compliance requirements"?
What does "sufficient documentation" mean?
I can guess, but I think it's better to spell out the rules, as Linux
kernel development is done "in the open". I am also afraid this is
opening the door for further (ab)use...
这个事情引起了一部分Linux维护者的不满。一些人表示,这种突然出现的举动,缺乏公开性。
然而,吃惊的是,大家没有等到Greg Kroah-Hartman的回复,但是等到了Linus自己的回复。
Linus是这样回复的:
Ok, lots of Russian trolls out and about.
It's entirely clear why the change was done, it's not getting reverted, and using multiple random anonymous accounts to try to "grass root" it by Russian troll factories isn't going to change anything.
And FYI for the actual innocent bystanders who aren't troll farm accounts - the "various compliance requirements" are not just a US thing.
If you haven't heard of Russian sanctions yet, you should try to read the news some day. And by "news", I don't mean Russian state-sponsored spam.
As to sending me a revert patch - please use whatever mush you call brains. I'm Finnish. Did you think I'd be *supporting* Russian aggression? Apparently it's not just lack of real news, it's lack of history knowledge too.
翻译一下大概是这样的:
好的,很多俄罗斯的水军到处活动。
这次的更改原因非常明确,不会被撤销。使用多个随机匿名账户试图通过俄罗斯的水军工厂来操作,是不会改变任何事情的。
顺便对那些不是水军的无辜旁观者说明一下——“各种合规要求”不仅仅是美国的事情。
如果你还没听说过俄罗斯的制裁,应该找时间读读新闻了。而“新闻”可不是指俄罗斯政府资助的垃圾信息。
至于给我发撤销补丁的想法——请用你那所谓的脑子思考一下。我是芬兰人。你觉得我会支持俄罗斯的侵略吗?显然,这不仅仅是缺乏真实新闻的问题,也是缺乏历史知识的问题。
所以,Linus说得很清楚,这次除名俄罗斯人,他不但知道,而且是支持的。
毕竟他最后的话说得很清楚,他是芬兰人。熟悉历史的都知道芬兰和俄罗斯是什么关系。
但是从开源软件的角度来说,看来,开源本身也不是没有国界的。
很多事情不但会发生,而且还会继续发生。
