Some people may be seen as anti-american, just because some of you guys are so america-centric. That's always been a source of various reactions in the other country of the world (remember, the US is not the main part of the world;) ).
Maybe they are simply america-independant people, don't you think so ?
Maybe you would think that they are pro-communist people, because you would like to (even if it's a non-sense to categorize people just by their political group).
Maybe the truth is that they don't care at all about such consideration... maybe they just want to develop their OS, with people motivated to participate, regardless of their country of origin or politic feeling.
If a russia OS was ever given to you with full source code, and if it was far better that any other OS known to the US. Would you even consider it?
Don't base your judgement on political/geographical propaganda.
You are a tech guy, that's your job. Look at the technical merits of the OS. If you want to, audit the products, or ask an american security auditing companie to do so. Every one would benefit.
Do you know that some major american-grown products did have backdoors (Interbase comes first to my mind)? what does this inspire you?
