    “Hosting their own” doesn’t exist in this context. There is either an ISP, a data center (for colocation) or (more likely) a root server or VPS provider involved which is bound by sanctions just as much as a Git repo hoster in the same jurisdiction would be.

      My point still stands: are all countries sanctioning the same countries? You don’t know where the server is being hosted, nor which sanctions it is bound by, nor how they would be enforced.

        The vast majority of countries do obey US sanctions, at least in the old world order pre-Trump, not sure how that will turn out in the coming years. Mainly because they do not want to be affected by sanctions themselves.
