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.
To be honest, it’d mostly be to have it on the shelf. I don’t even have an optical disc drive in my current pc, I was just thinking, it’d be a neat way to support the cause while getting something to show for it. So I guess the version doesn’t matter too much, I’d just prefer the language to not being German.
