I hope you and your loved ones are safe and weathering this this war of aggression as best as possible. I hope your homeland remains free and is able to oust the dictator attacking it.

I commend you for reverting the terms of use change. I also believe that this sort of remaining political statement in a project sets a poor precedent, and diminishes the work. Free software is meant to be open to all. Throwing ideological barbs in the project, however correct and riteous, undermines the project's freedom. I would urge you to reconsider.

As I said earlier, I have updated the wording in README - https://github.com/terraform-aws-modules/terraform-aws-eks#a... . The project was and will be under the same Apache 2 license. You can continue using it as nothing is happening in Ukraine. I will never stop you or anyone else.

PS: It is not just Putin who attacks Ukraine but I don't want to go into this discussion here.

Question: what is "ideological" about the facts stated in the README? Putin invaded Ukraine. Lives are at stake. Being against that is no more ideological than the need for you and me to eat and sleep.
