Just as Europe's dependence on Russian gas caused issues at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine, so too does reliance on foreign software and hardware components. That is true for every country in the world and all hardware and software. For software, only open-source can provide protection, whereas hardware requires a diverse supply chain.

While I on one hand appreciate that Outsystems encourages its community to share developments through OS licenses, on the other hand it might only serve to increase dependency on its proprietary roots.

Open source community building as a sweetener for monopolistic dependencies?

What do you think?
