    The article is from May; has anything important related to this happened in the last few days, or why are you posting this now?

    at least for one of their recent initiatives.

    Oh and it’s for the ‘UN Open Source Principles initiative’.

    Kinda makes it seem like this is a ‘pr’ move rather than an actual institutional change, intended for a single event?

    Although the initiative itself could very well bring that about.

        We all get spurned by Google and Meta and Microsoft on an ongoing basis for the last 20 years but no one ever actually does anything about it.
