Why should Linus renounce US citizenship, not finnish? He is living with family in Oregon for 20+ years.

This is my main point here - not much things connecting Linus and Linux to EU. In question of US and EU tensions I am not really sure US citizen BDFL will party with EU, also because companies who spend money and contribute to kernel are located in US mainly.

In the very post where he discussed the removal of Russian maintainers https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=whNGNVnYHHSXUAsWds_MoZ-iEg... he identifies as Finnish - not American or Finnish-American.

That you are trying to strip him of his own identity speaks volumes.

Anyway, clearly you have some misguided patriotic agenda here. You can thump your chest if it makes you feel better, but theres little point in continuing this discussion.
