    And it is also true that certain countries - China especially - don’t respect open-source but are more than willing to profit from it while simultaneously undercutting those that paved the way for their own products. It’s the same issue we’ve seen with non-FOSS software and hardware in the past.

      I have to disagree with the notion that China doesn’t respect open-source hardware. Alibaba group just recently open sourced some of the most useful, including the most powerful RISC-V core to-date. Open sourcing processor IP is almost unheard of. China is pushing the RISC-V and open hardware envelope pretty hard. They definitely do still profit off of American open hardware, but that’s a good thing for the consumer most of the time.
