EU wants to invest. Let’s invest in open source software. It benefits and defends the people to totalitarian overreach. Also it shows to give the biggest advantage to society and productive outcome of people in general. The only way to compete with large centralized proprietary systems is to fund open source alternatives. EU should lead and open up the arms race. Not only on digital finance being bitcoin but also on artificial intelligence.

This Harvard review last year clearly shows there is no better return of investment than open source. And as all we are talking about are public investments, with public money, the code should be owned by the public. Every government funded software program and “cloud solution” when made open source will have the best security and will be hundreds times cheaper than what is being run currently on US “servers”.
