The technological world of the European Union has been having a major shake-up recently. Rattled by how much they depend on proprietary software in key areas of government and public services, the EU has been working toward breaking free from closed-source software and moving toward more open-source options. For instance, France's government is ditching Windows for Linux after calling US tech dependence a strategic risk.
