--- Begin Message ---Source: nginx Version: 1.24.0-2 Severity: serious Tags: upstream Justification: Policy 2.1.5 Dear Maintainer, The company behind nginx fired half of their most senior programmers two years ago, due to the country in which they reside (Russia). This might be a violation of DFSG 5 (Debian Policy 2.1.5) No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups That article is described in more detail as The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons. which isn't exactly what happened here, but the spirit of the DFSG shouldn't restrict to the license but also to the maintainership of the project. nginx is maintained by a company that has violated the spirit of the DFSG in their management of the project. Also, we have alternatives like freenginx, maintained by a former maintainer of nginx, or Angie, also maintained by a former programmer of nginx. See also: <http://freenginx.org/> <https://github.com/webserver-llc/angie> <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1063916> Thanks.
