    In audio we have Max-Msp, create by Miller Pucket as a research project at IRCAM and then gave away to be commercialized by a private business. Pucket when ahead an re-created an open-source version of Max, Pure Data, but at that point that point most institutions had already adopted Max.

    Dante is the biggest audio networking protocol out there. It’s everywhere now. It was developed in Australia, entirely with government funding, and later privatize to Audinate.

    There’s tons of other examples.

    In Québec, we have Hydro-Québec, a nationalize energy organization that gives energy sovereignty, low prices on electricity, and billions in profit. But guess what our entrepreneur-friendly prime minister wants to do.

    Fuck capitalism.
