How the EU’s Tech Sovereignty Package Finally Puts Open Source to the
Test

With this week’s release of the European Commission's “European
Technological Sovereignty Package”, which includes a full Open Source
Strategy, open source sits at the center of EU digital policymaking for
the first time. This is a landmark moment for Europe and the global open
source ecosystem. The strategy also rightly identifies the opportunity
not just to mandate open source but to build a sustainable ecosystem
around it, with trusted assets, services, and guidance, empowered
communities, and strong governance and decision-making. That study's
core finding — that every euro of public investment in open source
generates a return of between four and five euros for the European
economy — appears to have informed the Commission's framing of open
source as a strategic investment rather than a line item.
