Grazie, sulle sanzioni che investono F/OSS ho letto questo: <https://shahinsorkh.ir/2019/07/20/how-is-it-like-to-be-a-dev-in-iran> [...] Sanctions If you follow world news, you have definitely heard about sanctions against Iran because of Iran’s nuclear programs. Though it is not just limited to physics and nuclear things. Many companies have obeyed US sanctions against Iran. Nobody really cares about what would happen to the people. The people are worth nothing. That’s what they believe. Both Iran’s government and international institutions, you say the UN. People are dying due to an absence of medicines. People are starving. The economic system is falling apart and the politicians and their children are all abroad! None of them have any sense about what is going on the streets. What happens to us, IT men? Sanctions! What are we missing? FOSS! We are missing Free Open Source Softwares! You see? Sanctions of Docker Few months ago, the Slack team, decided to join the sanctions. They simply deleted every single user who they found out is Iranian! With no real prior notices! Many people have lost their data on Slack and no one was going to do anything! They had some Iranian users who were living abroad for many years and had’t even visited Iran in a long time, but their account got deleted along with others! There were lots of people complaining about it on the Twitter. And even more. (I guess you got the idea.) We cannot have MasterCard/Visa easily, thanks to economic banking sanctions. Thus, we cannot create AWS account, we cannot buy anything on Amazon/Ebay, we cannot have Google Store console, we cannot use (almost) any enterprise service. Android dev returns HTTP 403, Docker docs returns HTTP 403, bintray returns HTTP 403, Schema.org returns HTTP 403 and so on. (There is a long list available) [...] On 26/07/2019 17:48, Giacomo Tesio wrote:

La frase chiave secondo me è questa. Non sono sanzioni ONU. Oggi tocca agli iraniani, ma domani? Per questo è urgente per l'UE distribuire la computazione sul proprio territorio. Ed non basta spargere i server, bisogna diffondere la conoscenza. Ma lo so... sono ripetitivo... Giacomo
