For activists, by activists.
the american government undeniably controls the linux kernel now and soon other open source projects will be under their control as well; we need this now more than ever.
Eeeeh… Not really. Remember licensing guarantees the right to fork. Many developers are not from the US and I would bet that both Asia and Europe (and probably other continents too) have the know how to manage a fork.
a fork only pertains to the source in that repo; there’s whole other multitudes of ecosystems surrounding something like the linux-kernel project that can make forking an non-viable option and that’s the point of the government control; it’s merely a linchpin to keep the status quo afloat (for now) and as the status quo slips, they’re going to clinch harder.
So which part of all those ecosystems are you claiming Europe could not maintain? Before you answer remember that Ubuntu is European, SUSE and openSUSE are European, Manjaro is European, most Arch developers are European, LibreOffice is European, KDE is European, GPG is European… I could go on, but, with all that shared expertise, are you sure that Europe does not possess the know-how to recreate and maintain all and every part of the Linux ecosystem?
Edit: When I say “European” I mean “started in and mainly run by people based in Europe”.
