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.
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.

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.
Ok, anyway, try to ask the nostr:npub17qeesxmmenufr7ezzqled7t80qpw47wfuz7dumqufv2wvr4l344s8c4nfk
Can't you try to contact the Free Software Foundation? I bet they are good at law protection for open source people
