By your logic developers in the US shouldn't be allowed to contribute to free software either, after all the US is committing genocides and threatening to invade other countries
Well, yeah. That's literally the point of sanctions.
The point is to protect national interests, not reject free contributions from normal people for non-security critical but useful software projects which is just idiotic
yes, we are free to block US developers.
If some country will sanction US that is hosting FOSS, absolutely. That's not mutually exclusive with this.
