Source: nginx
Version: 1.24.0-2
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
Justification: Policy 2.1.5

Dear Maintainer,

The company behind nginx fired half of their most senior programmers two
years ago, due to the country in which they reside (Russia). This might
be a violation of DFSG 5 (Debian Policy 2.1.5)

No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups

That article is described in more detail as

The license must not discriminate against any person or group of
persons.

which isn't exactly what happened here, but the spirit of the DFSG
shouldn't restrict to the license but also to the maintainership of the project. nginx is maintained by a company that has violated the spirit
of the DFSG in their management of the project. Also, we have
alternatives like freenginx, maintained by a former maintainer of nginx,
or Angie, also maintained by a former programmer of nginx.
