> if your argument is that Switzerland should punish Swiss companies for dealing with oppressive governments

Some countries require an export license for some products and companies might get it to export to friendly countries and not get it for other countries. It's similar to sanctions. Those licenses apply even to some piece of software (spying tools et al.) Companies caught selling without a license are punished.
