In that scenario, at least there would be some US citizens to put into prison.

I want everybody to stop, shake themselves, and realize how “absolutely insane” this situation is. True or not, we’re talking about prison time for helping people write open source code.

This isn’t normal, but everyone’s talking about it like it’s normal.

Anyway! Carry on. :)

That may well be true but consider going to the German's and teaching them about Radar in the lead up to the war - that's the logic at least.

When did the opensource begin to be considered a war tech?

This is the job of state propaganda: to look abnormal things look normal.
