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.

GPL is evil. GPL is poison. You’re an ideologie.

🤣 Do you hear yourself? No one’s going to say something as hyperbolic and emotional as “GPL is evil. GPL is poison.” except an anti-GPL ideologue. The “original UNIX cultural mindset” is itself an ideology. You are an ideologue. You might as well as well say, “BSD license fills my heart with so much love, I wish I could make passionate love to the BSD license.”
