So apparently in the future, cloning a repo means you're also signing a geopolitical treaty. Want to use that JavaScript library? Cool, but first you need to take a firm stance on international conflicts. Nothing says "open source" quite like mandatory political declarations before you can npm install.

The irony here is beautiful: we went from "code should be free and accessible to everyone" to "code should be free and accessible to everyone who agrees with my specific worldview." Next thing you know, you'll need to write a 500-word essay on your moral philosophy just to fork a repo. Can't wait for the merge conflicts in the Terms of Service.

Remember when the hardest part of using open source was dealing with dependency hell? Good times. Now you need a law degree and a geopolitics PhD just to read the README.
