The European Commission sees open-source software as more than an IT tool. Policy makers are encouraging open-source ecosystems to drive innovation, autonomy and collaboration in a world where global trade is being redrawn.

This trade dispute highlights something most open-source advocates have known for years: open source is freedom. It’s freedom from monopolies, freedom from arbitrary pricing, and freedom from foreign influence.

    I wish they actually for serious about it and said “@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu is aiming to be 100% opensource by 2030”. That would be quite the statement. It would need teeth/legs, but it would be cool none the less.
