The European Commission sees open-source software as more than an IT tool. Policy makers are encouraging open-source ecosystems to drive innovation, autonomy and collaboration in a world where global trade is being redrawn.

This trade dispute highlights something most open-source advocates have known for years: open source is freedom. It’s freedom from monopolies, freedom from arbitrary pricing, and freedom from foreign influence.

You know, I was actually considering earlier this evening to buy https://en.opensuse.org/Buy_openSUSE but unfortunately there's only a German version of 15.3. Would be cool to have a physical version even if it was just for show. But hey, maybe they'll release a version for 15.5.

Gotta love a good manual. I still have a DOS 6.0 manual lying around, even though I can use kcharselect to look up ANSI characters now.
