States need to sponsor open source to the tune of tens of billions.

Ss the reg points out it's now national security in a deglobalization world.

I got mocked on this site for suggesting it.

But both the EU and the non aligned superpowers need open source hardware and software stacks.

It's all there already. The people did 90% of the work. Llms are here to close feature gaps, identify security issues, port code. They are great at cloning and iterative improvement.

You don't need some radical new idea. And stand up to American companies

And oh jeez, you might get a functioning tech sector of companies. That would be horrible wouldn't it EU.

Proprietary software and hardware/firmware is a weapon these days. This is a US issue as well.

Open source is the key for the entire economic stack of fabrication of computing devices in a weaponized low trust deglobalized multipolar world.

It enabled cooperation, export, multinational companies to make money worldwide
