This is simply untrue. The tech is there, the will (money) isn't.

The money can't all come from the state. If the EU wants to compete, it should create a common market worth its name where EU companies can raise billions like American ones. If that doesn't happen but we instead pat ourselves on the back for setting aside a pithy 5 million Euros in some EU budget to support open source, it's never going to happen.

		> it should create a common market worth its name where EU There is no reason to believe that the EU (rather than the market participants in the EU) is in any way capable of that regardless of the amount of political will. Spending massive amounts of money without knowing what you are trying to do or how will just result in a massive amount of grift and corruption

EU has no issues with wasting and burning large amounts of money for no particular reason. The issue is that the people there are incapable (or don’t want to) make the right decisions for any of this to happen.
