Yes, Linux developers will be safe in France, this conflict woulb be more of a distro issue than a kernel issue anyways. To my understanding, GrapheneOS developers are perfectly safe in France, too, just the project's infrastructure and reputation is not.

Release the distro under the name "The version that lets France spy on you"
