Hi Konrad et al,
Like already mentioned Qt Project systems, code.qt.io repositories, github
mirror etc are not blocked. Online installer for open-source users is blocked
from Russia and Belarus based IP addresses. Plan is to block also
download.qt.io and possibly some of the qt.io websites. These are done based on
IP address.
Blocking the installer and access to binaries affects a much larger number of
users than those who are active in the community. It impacts also many who
create closed source products using the open-source Qt.
Yours,
Tuukka

Hi Tuukka,
I believe an official statement from the Qt Company is in order - right now
people are forced to find out the hard way whether they are blocked and how far
the block goes. It is impossible to tell whether it is on purpose or not and
what the purpose would be.
It does not matter what side people are on, they deserve to know what's
happening to them.
It's also easier to accept and support this, if we know what "this" is.
Please state very clearly:
Who is being blocked? (Location, commercial customers, open source users,
developers, ...?)
Why are they blocked and for how long? (We might even agree with your
reasoning.)
What services are supposed to be blocked and which ones are not supposed to be
blocked? (Commercial vs. Open Source, Binary vs. Source Downloads, Users vs.
Contributors, ...)
Where to report bugs in this block? (e.g. is Konstantin really supposed to be
blocked from contributing?)
And what discussions will be redirected to /dev/null?
Right now we live in a situation that we all had hoped would not occur again in
Europe. We had hoped that the hard learned lessons of our grand parents would
prevent this from happening. Let's at least try to be a voice of reason in this
situation.

Hi,
Like already mentioned, use of the online installer is blocked from certain IP

Access to the Qt Project source code repository has not been blocked.

Plz restrain your emotions. There is no reason to spread hysteria even more.

Yes, it's kind of hysterical. I don't understand what the Qt company wants to
achieve in the end? What is the purpose?
So far, it looks more like a clowning: "the circus is gone, but the clowns
remain."
Qt Company can't stick your tongue out of the USA ass? :)
I had a higher opinion of Qt Company up to this point ...
This is not serious somehow, some kind of kindergarten. LOL. :)

As long as I can fetch sources I wouldn't take any actions.
But anyways, bringing your own political preferences to the open source world
rules is a quite hypocritical move.
In the adult world, it doesn't matter if your community members / contributors
have a skin tone, political or sexual preferences not like yours, or an IP
address that belongs to some particular territory.

Hi,
It is because your IP is detected to be in a country we do not allow downloads.
If you are not able to access something you have purchased then let me know and
I will get someone to get in touch with you directly about this. Otherwise, for
the time being, this IP block will be in place.
Regards,
Andy

I don't care. I need some explanations here, at public dev ML.

Hi,
I imagine you're using a russian IP address, so this[1] should shed some light
on the matter.
Kind regards,
Konstantin.
