To me it just seems like they are prejudiced against Brits or something.

I don't buy their statement about legal concerns given it's as vague as GDPR, and equally as inapplicable to a www git, and yet they've not banned the EU.

It's quite toxic to ban a whole country from your project without good reason. I've seen people break more of a sweat worrying about whether Russia should be banned from open source projects than the UK. It's not unfortunately unexpected, people love being ignorant about the UK.
