When you say "you" a.k.a. the distributor of the software, it means:
those who host online the source code and binary packages, from the
forges and cvs repositories to the GNU/Linux system distributions.

So what we could ask, is that Savannah, Github or Sourceforge, and
Debian, Fedora or Ubuntu, stop to distribute free software in Russia.

WDYT?
