It was there, but they decided to remove because they don't accept terms of service (basically you can't upload illegal content from a version I compile) with open-source software licenses.

Tricky one. But I think the argument is far too 'edge case'. Insignificant risk vs. no risk. Different lawyers will give different advice in this territory, I'm sure.

Yep. It is just hard to take ANY risk when developing open source.

I think for some people is just better to develop as anonymous

There is no such thing in law. At some point they will catch you.

If I remember well, Australian government made a law in which they can force you to install a backdoor and you are forbidden to disclose it.

There's a company which had to move to Switzerland to avoid those kind of problems also. I think it was Signal.

I think I'd you are at least anonymous like @fiatjaf at least you will not be the first to be blackmailed by politicians and governments

Nah. I assure you the government already knows who fiatjaf is. Anonymity can only protect you from the web.

Can't you try to contact the Free Software Foundation? I bet they are good at law protection for open source people
