Rather than on X, COSS.fi should really share their posts, such as this one, on Mastodon:
"(...) The European Commission is preparing a new strategy to commercialize and scale European open source in order to strengthen digital sovereignty: https://euractiv.com/news/commission-wants-to-commercialise-open-source-for-sovereignty/
Comments on the Commission’s consultation can be submitted until 3 February 2026.

At https://mastodontti.fi/@ikkeT@mementomori.social/115892635666804207, @ikkeT points at this LinkedIn Pulse article by Magnus Glantz:
Open Source, trust and mutual assured destruction
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/open-source-trust-mutual-assured-destruction-magnus-glantz-j6oye/
Magnus states that the world depends on open source software for critical functions, and that the development and maintenance of that software makes the world interdependent.
Ilkka, do you see this as an argument in favour or against the European Commission's strategy?

@josschuurmans @mglantz the writing supports the strategy. If EU would take strategy to support commercial use of ossw, article says no external party can ruin it.
