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

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
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
