Policy & Research Manager at Sovereign Tech Agency
Open Source is Sewer
Who maintains the software components that everyone uses? Without open source libraries, protocols, and tools the world would grind to a halt. When it’s physical sewers, roads, and bridges, the government pays for it. For bits and bytes? There’s a word in German for it: digitale Daseinsvorsorge.
