alt Hacker NewsHaven't read the blog, but I can think of a good reason to sell. HQ moves to Norway, no more direct US government interference.

You may think "but government ownership means more interference", and yes, but not radicalized, crazy assed, mercurial, emotional interference.

Yeah, move to EU to avoid government interference. Who wouldn't have thought that?

Bro, c'mon.
If the US wants to interfere with something they will interfere with it.
To think otherwise is Euro-brain-maxxing.

The US government would never allow a sale. Frontier intelligence given away? It is the ASML story all over again. I would hope we have learned our lesson.
