Random shower thought, Bell Labs worked by hiring endless smart people, there are endless smart people in OSS. Wrap them up in a liberal collective and adopt the projects in a co-op structure that is taken seriously by governments or the EU and you have a powerhouse. What’s more likely? A gov framework will recognise it or these people will want to work under a public sector paper pusher 😂 Hmm, people want to build cool stuff and pay their bills, reminiscent of the Bell Labs ideal.
