“This important legislation will, for the first time ever, codify open source software as public infrastructure”
= = =

So, if I write a Poem or an Essay, or an Opinion . . .

Is that ‘Public Infrastructure’?

If I say: ‘ x.LT.y=print#value’ is that Public Infrastructure?

If I have thoughts about all this, is that Public Infrastructure?

“Bugs?

Unfortunately you are right. And if they now own your OS then they own your box and there will be even more.

This is scary serious bad... This is Communist Chinese “the government now owns your computer to keep you safe” stuff right here...

Who the hell would be dumb enough to even think this is Ok?

Anything coming from these 2 traitorous pieces of trash can’t be good or beneficial for the country. Who’s paying them off to do this?
