The US thinks differently. Its accused for example of simply removing
people from other countries to interrogate or torture. The Microsoft v
ATT case if you bother to read it is relevant because Red Hat is based in

Nope - common misunderstanding - political speech not arbitary speech. So
your right to object is protected not your right to give the URL

If you move it and it is doing things not legal in the US then US people
can't contribute.

Yep.
