To my complete lack of surprise, Russia is seems to be a freer country for free software developers than the United States.

What does the United States have to do with this? Since when is Finland part of the United States? Linus Torvalds is Finnish.

The Linux Foundation is headquartered in San Francisco. It's a US 501c non profit. Therefore, they must abide by US sanctions.
