summary
Looks at how governments and large institutions (European Commission, White House, China’s MIIT, UK bodies including NHS and the Energy Sector Task Force) are shaping policy around open source, security, sustainability and funding. Uses recent events — Elastic’s licence change, SBOM guidance, digital sovereignty policies and national plans — to argue for treating free and open source software as a public good and to propose policy and funding shifts to secure long‑term maintenance and environmental sustainability.
