Please stop spreading disinformation

On the LKML:

Please accept all of our apologies for the way this was handled.  A
summary of the legal advice the kernel is operating under is

   If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC
   sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our
   ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and
   you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.

Read the thread (and the provenance of this statement) here:

tl;dr:  LF has apparently been contacted about sanctions violations.
Yes, Linus was a bit out-of-line with his comments, but the decision
to remove developers that work for certain Russian companies came
from the U.S. Govt. sanctions.

And I have to shake my head at qAnon mind virus victims
who think sanctions on Russia are (reads notes) "Marxist".
