        Latvia is not Russia

        Yet.

        And if you look on a Russian map, I’m sure it’s there already.

        You know, almost entirely staffed by Russians (outside of Latvia), the executive suite is Russian, shareholders are Russian, etc.

        Like have you guys never heard of companies being “headquartered” in the Cayman Islands?

          Sure, now why would that be a factor for choosing a software or not.

          You didn’t choose the country you were born in anymore than they did.
