    Mint and Ubuntu have Debian as an upstream, don’t they?

    Debian is a US legal entity, so if it was required to sanction countries, it feels that software built with it would likely be restricted.

      Debian is open source though. So unless they make it closed source we can keep using it.

      Making it closed source would probably kill it and a fork would take its place.
