I'm not really following — is the author discussing funding/foundations for Open Source software and supply chain security? The rise of "communities" in other countries doing open source development? Or how the East can't trust the West, and vice versa? The geopolitical aspects and cyber norms discussions are already happening[0] but in ways and at a pace that usually frustrate technical people. I like DHH's take on Open Source[1]: "Using open source software does not entitle you to a vote on the direction of the project. The gift you've received is the software itself and the freedom of use granted by the license." We should welcome these new communities and thank them for their contributions and perspective. As long as I have the freedom to choose, and censorship isn't a barrier I don't see an issue - they can do what they want. With OSS I can at least review the code and form my own opinion on who and what I should trust.
