You are right on that.

I hope that in the end this does end up all working out and I was just one of the crazy guys worried for no reason.

But either way I still think it is disappointing they did this so quickly and that they're using a US push in law be such a deciding factor in originally pushing for it. It felt like that was the same way when they banned Russian maintainers. The USA and especially specific states shouldn't have this much pull especially over open source community driven projects in my opinion.

I completely agree.

I hope we see a bigger push for FOSS software in the EU as they try to reduce their dependency on US tech companies. If more countries treat software like we treat science where everyone contributes and everyone benefits then we'll all be better off.
