    Open source? One that’s developed by people all over the world, including US, China and Russia? And Linux, whose lead maintainer is an American citizen, and which is developed in the large part by US and Chinese corporations? Doesn’t sound very sovereign to me.

      I mean I did not even specify any particular open source project that you could infer any particular nationalities developing from so it’s pretty bad faith trying to straw man me like this. Furthermore you seem to have completely misunderstood what I was saying.

        My point is that “sovereignty” implies ownership and specific jurisdiction. You can’t just take any open source project and say that you are “sovereign”. It would only make sense if that project accepts only European contributors and vets them.

        Open source does not imply “european”.
