Developers can’t just move… they will always be a target themselves.

    Do you have any idea how hard and expensive it is just to move out of the US without brining a company with you?

    There's no way they could afford that, even if they found a country that would take them.

    Moving into the EU is probably not that hard, but to be extra safe you'd have to gain EU citizenship somehow and renounce your US one.

    Don't like every single large company have a 1m x 1m basement in Ireland where their HQ is technically located in for tax reasons? Just do the same thing but for copyright.

    Well since it's an open source project then just have only people from safe countries publish the changes and code contribution is somewhere private. Don't include the names of anyone in the US for sure. That's the idea I'm alluding to.

    Though if you wanna take it literally, you can buy the tiniest possible place as a front for your company for like 5k euros here.
