It's probably because those with decision making authority have no idea what open source is and how it works.

That being said, China is a huge contributor to open source. For example Huawei and Alibaba are among top kernel contributors.

I love the prequels.

The prequels are the only Star Wars trilogy with sophisticated story and characters. Both the original trilogy and the sequel trash are shallow "good guys puch bad guys" movies. The prequels involve a greedy politician starting a fake war to grab more power for himself, with a corrupt jedi order unable to stop him. It's elaborate, sophisticated and fun.

It's funny how in todays world real life immitates art.

I read that German government retalliated against her father in Germany. Also I assume she wants to go back home at some point. Sad business.

What the German Government is doing to Alina Lipp is shamedul. It shows a lack of respect for human rights.
