Mike,
i fully agree that any of geopolitical silos is failure. Same to sports: it is a failure that Russia will not participate in this coming events. But that is a lesser harm then the murder of people. It’s a signal. We the people who want peaceful and prosperous future must not wait for laws. Someday there may be no more tomorrow for some (or all) of us. We need to take action before that happens. Now. What about changing the splash screen (bug 575781) to a message (for example Ukraine flag blue + yellow).

Like the GPL the EPL is also a free software license, as is every other license used by Eclipse Foundation projects. And the 4 freedoms referenced by Boris fully apply to every project here. Implementing what you are suggesting would be close to impossible. That said, the Eclipse Foundation obeys every law and regulation that applies to it. For example, we follow all export controls that apply to us under US and European law. If the current conflict results in additional regulations we will apply them as well. That is not the case as of this moment. The Eclipse Foundation stewards a global community that embraces technologies from all countries. The free flow of openly licensed technologies drives innovation in all sectors of the economy today. For a peaceful and prosperous future we want to promote the lawful use of free and open source software from around the world. The creation of geopolitical silos within the open source community would be failure IMHO.

Dear Jörg, Note: this is my personal opinion and does not engage anyone else. Whatever we think about the current situation, the 4 freedoms that define free/libre open source software absolutely forbid us, or anybody, to do that.
