Remember when the CDU politicians celebrated when they successfully lobbied for upload filters for their publisher friends in the EU? Why should not assume that its intended？Plenty of McKinsey consultants around to make sure governments don't use too much FOSS to keep paying those nice license fees to MS.

Notably, for that there are tiers depending on the number of users or revenue.

Maybe, but remember that Ursula von der Leyen herself has been advocating for a while for EU's "digital sovereignty" (not having to depend on products and services form non-EU countries) and the easiest way to achieve that would be to heavily rely on FOSS.

  Ursula just like Macron has been involved in McKinsey scandals, the outcome of which was shoveling money to McKinsey and decimating the German military. Iirc her son was a partner or something. Ursula says all sorts of crazy stuff. The last year of Ursula policies have made sure that the EU is everything BUT sovereign. They are now fully dependent on the US MIC and fully dependent on US resource and energy imports at any price or terms the US wishes. Looks like everyone here has forgotten that the EU copyright stance is basically to shovel money to the US. I really wish people here would judge politicians by the outcome of their actions and not by what they say. https://torrentfreak.com/europes-odd-anti-piracy-stance-send-money-to-the-us-110904/ https://torrentfreak.com/europes-odd-anti-piracy-stance-send...
