100% this is the direction all govts will go. This isn't specific to any political party, it's just about communications control. I don't think open source models will be directly capped, necessarily, but all commercial/easy-to-setup models will be heavily regulated.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started going after open-source as a whole and labeling it “communism” like the old Microsoft days.

So much of everybody's infra depends on FOSS. I think every industry giant would dogpile whichever politician tried to go after FOSS as a whole.

The government could give those companies exemptions or give them time to LLM-wash that open-source code directly into their code so they have no dependencies.

Those companies will be thrilled because they got the benefit of open-source and now are throwing down the ladder.

Good luck fighting the FSF and the GPL. The whole industry would crumble tomorrow if anyone dared. 1929 would be a joke in comparison.
