From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not going to reply to the other comments but I can reply to this one. Sanctions aren't done blindly but sometimes they just aren't done right.
Let me make an example. Imagine if owning high pressure water pumps became illegal because they can be harmful and there was no exception for firefighters and car wash companies so all of them in the country got arrested.
