It’s quite interesting how American’s have always been about their government’s “checks and balances”

Hahaha, that’s a good one.
The US has always been about slave owners on stolen land to be in power with all its perks but without any of its responsibilities by putting as much wool over everyone’s eyes as much as they can.
Every supposed check and balance the US has is to keep these oligarchs in power.
And they’re all laughably theatrical like putting in enormous importance into term limits, like it’s some kind of pinnacle of democracy.
As if dictators will stop dictating because there’s a clock involved.
All it does is stop the public from choosing the one leader that isn’t corrupted by monied interests over and over again.
It does not stop a leader from speedrunning into doing whatever he wants.

Oh yeah, let’s call someone ‘using open source’ in terms of ‘to exploit’.

Maybe the US should also ban GNU licences, open hardware licences and force Linux to sell itself to Google while we’re at it. Then destroy all distros except chromeOS.
After all, China could exploit these open source software projects.

And in this way one no longer has to be confused about copyright and copyleft being opposite ends of free democratic nations and communist authoritarian empires. /s
