Mike,
i fully agree that anyof 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).
Perhaps. But ultimately that is a project decision.

Jörg,
Factually, what you are implying about the EPL is incorrect. 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 Boris,
Note that eclipse is not under GNU but EPL licensed. Therefore it
is **not** public domain.

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.
