By what criteria can software be considered Russian?

Question

Law in IT

As part of our activities, we periodically have to classify the software used in our company as Russian / foreign / freely distributed. Despite the fact that there is a registry of Russian software https://reestr.minsvyaz.ru/, the task is not always trivial. It seems to me that the requirements there are strict, difficult to verify, and it is expensive to force each company to undergo this accreditation (it takes a long time).
In this regard, I would like to create concise and understandable criteria by which it will be easy to distinguish between software for which there are no sanctions risks from software whose support can easily be terminated due to external changes.
Maybe someone came across? What do you advise?

Answer 1

This is the developer forum.
You need lawyers. This is, how would you say, a completely different profession.

Answer 2

I would like to create concise and understandable criteria by which it will be easy to distinguish between software for which there are no sanctions risks from software whose support can be easily stopped due to external changes.

I would suggest starting from the goal. If this is a formal requirement that the software be produced by a resident of the Russian Federation, then you will receive confirmation. But the licensor may have a different jurisdiction
. If the task is to make the software work, then in this case it is not so important who developed it, the main jurisdiction of the licensor and the terms of the contract are guarantees, support, terms, responsibility, etc. And that the licensor was not a dummy.
