Isn't Nginx written by a Russian? So is it now banned in the US? What other software has been effected by this legislation?

Hah, well time to tell our CEO I'm shutting down our prod servers.

Don't worry an American will be available to own it instead! And there won't be any problems because we're the best!

You missed the /s in your comment.

I shouldn't need one for that. But in the same vein...

I don't know what you're talking about, it's impossible for the world's only bastion of freedom to do anything wrong! We should just have the president and do away with things like courts!

No, but it could be. The President would need to start the process and give them 270 days to relocate to somewhere that's not Russia or sell to a non-Russian company or whatever.
