Clicking on the "public comments" link on the federal register page provides some interesting reading. Facebook was fairly agitated about the impact of some of the proposals on the PyTorch project. The director at CSET pointed out its kinda a wasted effort to try to censor source code in 2019. Uber claims that broad classification doesn't work anyway for developing tech as a general rule by the time it can be classified accurately its no longer developing tech, and classifying the result of government sponsored research grants would work a lot better than first amendment violations ever would, anyway. Any inaccuracy at summarizing a position above, is my failure, not the failure of the corporate comments, etc blah blah. General public comments on a govt proposal are more interesting reading than either the proposal OR general public social media comments. I actually learned a few things about PyTorch because of this. Interesting stuff.
