  • If the US wants control over china’s chip fabs they should keep it the way it is right now. ASML already does not sell its latest machines to china because of US orders. If china will not be able to maintain the last-gen ASML models anymore, then they will definitely put even more money into researching their own. And when they have their own machines then the US doesn’t have any control anymore.



  • Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is released under a license in which the copyright holder grants users the rights to use, study, change, and distribute the software and its source code to anyone and for any purpose. from Wikipedia

    The same article also talks about the difference between open source and source available:

    Although the OSI definition of “open-source software” is widely accepted, a small number of people and organizations use the term to refer to software where the source is available for viewing, but which may not legally be modified or redistributed. Such software is more often referred to as source-available, or as shared source, a term coined by Microsoft in 2001
