What does the distinction even mean? If an american contributes to a Foss project it is all of a sudden no longer European?
They talking if the project is of european origin or the leading mantainer is european
Is Linux from Finland or from the USA? If someting is open source and has a global contributor base and no single entity can subvert it, then I don’t really think the country matters. But it there is one entity that controls it, then it matters where it is from and what jurisdiction and what policies apply on it.
