Its cool to see there was only a passing mention of rules/regulations in the article and most focus on Open Source work.
I can get behind a government who funds open source software, hard to imagine a better ROI.
Speaking of which, can we get funding for FreeCAD? Outside of AI, having CAD software that doesnt change pricing every year has been monumental for me being able to start a design engineering business. I didn't have 10k to spend on a 2-3 year development cycle as a little guy, not to mention the value it would provide medium and large players to not be under Dassault's boot.
