Well that sucks big time.
Essentially it is limiting the freedoms of free (as in speech)
software, not only for those in the black listed countries, but for us
who could have been on the receiving end of a great application
developed in one or more of those countries.
Free software was created for everyone, with no discrimination of any type.
I'm sure there will be quite a bit of backlash on this from many
different sources.
My feeling is that Geeknet Inc should move out of the US, but I
understand that would be quite a big undertaking.
What does the community think?
Cheers
Keith
