From an applications point of view:

They want web apps only running in whatng cartel web engines?

libreoffice? A massive piece of software you can build only with US c++ compilers (MIT and mostly apple)? (the mistake was to use c++ in the first place, well computer languages on an insane level of complexity).

To put it together: it won't be perfect, lines for compromises will have to be drawn, and it will feel like getting out of 'the matrix' for the time (normal "users" won't understand), if you see where I am going. Digital freedom has a "price", efty "price" in a digital world dominated by Big Tech.

Going for a strong independence will have to hurt, or it will be slatted as "posture" more than a real long term/strategic will.

It is not "against" the US, but "in the interest" of the danish people (well, should be EU though...)

Who cares if a piece of open source has American maintainers? The point is not to avoid touching anything American. It is control and sovereignty.

This is what I implied: this is not against the US, which have actually the most control and sovereignty on critical software.

It is much cheaper and easier to have control and sovereignty on less complex software, including the SDK.

Usually you get developer lock-in via non-pertinent complexity, often including the SDK namely the computer language.
