I for one am going through quite a culture shock. I always assumed the nature of FOSS software made it immune to be confined within the policies of nations; I guess if one day the government of USA starts to think that its a security concers for china to use and contribute to core opensource software created by its citizens or based in their boundaries, they might strongarm FOSS communities and projects to make their software exclude them in someway or worse declare GPL software a threat to national security.

    RISK-V and ASML have been targeted by them in the past to prevent Chinese use.

    reading the broad points regarding RISC-V, I think my worst case scenario is apparently just the present day.
