their president didn't fall out of the sky - he was elected

Democracy in Russia is a myth. https://twitter.com/xruiztru/status/1381258281700761601

And yes, he literally did fall out of the sky. He's just a random person assigned by Boris Yeltsin.

I made this account just to comment to this thread. I am a user of the FOSS version of the library.

I would like to remind you that Qt did not block Turkey who in 2019 invaded Syria, is currently occupying northern Cyprus, recently helped with the attack of Armenia, is denying multiple genocides, is often violating the Greek airspace, and is now questioning the sovereignty of the east Aegean islands.

It is also not blocking China which is involved in the Uyghur genocide.

It is also not blocking Israel, which is an apartheid state that has been oppressing and illegally occupying Palestine, has been supplying weapons to Russia (in the current conflict) and to Azerbaijan when it attacked Armenia, and has been illegally displacing population.

It is also not blocking USA, which has invaded so many sovereign countries, organized so many movements to remove democratically elected governments and replace them with ones that benefit its interests without care about civilian causalities, engaged in so many instances of warcrimes and torture (not only of enemy combatants but of innocent civilians too, look up "Guantanamo Bay" on wikipedia) that is too many to count.

It is also not blocking Saudi Arabia, responsible for the death of many journalists, responsible for the current attack (with the help of the US) that caused the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, and responsible for the death of many gay and transgender people as homosexuality is illegal and these who are caught receive the capital punishment.

So I will ask, why are the Russian people being signed out?

And I will not comment any further, this forum is not the place to discuss this. The Qt Company has made this decision and you should direct your comments to them directly (there is a contact us form, feel free to use it).

But this forum is and will remain for questions about Qt, this is already veering off topic for the original question so I will now lock this thread. There are other places to discuss this situation should you want to do that.

But not giving money back and not giving access to paid product is fraud in my opinion.

I was asked to provide a response to this. So to make it clear, we are not withholding funds from anyone for any reason, regardless of the current situation going on.
