- jvanderbot 3y agoI said nothing of the sort. I'm implying they are richer.
- mttpgn 3y agoMany open source projects often already do receive US government funding, mostly through an onerous grant-application process. Nationalizing American open source projects could make them operate more like European open source where their EU funding is open and clear. The detrimental trade-off, however, is that the American agencies most capable to support and contribute directly to infrastructure security have burned away all trust from the rest of the world. Direct contributions directly from those USG agencies would reduce global trust in those projects even worse.
