Porteus Kiosk is blocked in Russia?

[Blaze]

Hi.
I got reports from Russian users what Porteus Kiosk is blocked in Russia. Any reason for this?

Blaze,

European Parliament declared Russia to be a state sponsor of terrorism:
https://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/ ... -terrorism

I dont want to support countries which are hostile towards other nations.
For this reason Porteus Kiosk systems cannot be used in Russian Federation and Belarus at least until the war in the Ukraine ends.

If you want to start a political discussion then please do not. This is not the place for it.

Thanks

Hi fanthom.

I am for peace.

Open source by such actions loses the concept.

@Blaze
Fedora contributes a lot to the linux community and opensource in general.

Yet its EULA prohibits usage in certain countries:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Li ... Agreement6

Code: Select all

5.  EXPORT CONTROL.  As required by U.S. law, User represents and
warrants that it: (a) understands that the Software is subject to
export controls under the U.S. Commerce Department's Export
Administration Regulations ("EAR"); (b) is not located in a
prohibited destination country under the EAR or U.S. sanctions
regulations (currently Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, Sudan
and Syria); (c) will not export, re-export, or transfer the Software
to any prohibited destination, entity, or individual without the
necessary export license(s) or authorizations(s) from the U.S.
Government;

I see nothing wrong with that.

Mind that I'm not against the Russian people. I'm against Russia and Belarus as a country (their actions).
You can migrate to e.g. Georgia and use Porteus Kiosk without any restrictions.

BTW: I did migrate myself to Ireland and lived there for 12 years. Great experience.

Thanks
