Man I hope the EU is going to wake up to software sovereignty soon.

Stuff is moving in the right direction in some places on the local level, but I would love to see a blanket ban on foreign subscription services for safety critical sectors.

Honestly, ban the use of proprietary software in any public, tax-funded organisation.

I think the greatest concession made was that von der Leyen allowed Trump to frame this as a great victory for him. He has a fragile ego and always needs to look good. She is a much more diplomatic politician and allowed him to appear victorious. But the actual, realistic concessions are pretty limited.
