The second position is about Edge-based confidential computing, specifically in the context of solidproject.org and privacy-preserving AI in the edge. It's not clear whether this will use WebAssembly, but it definitely stays in the same W3C ecosystem.

The first position is about cloud-based confidential computing using WebAssembly and Confidential Computing. (Intel TDX and AMD SEV-SNP)
The goal is to create a generic, open source platform for processing confidential data using confidential algorithms. Use-cases include privacy-focused analysis of sensitive health or
financial information, trustworthy generation of environmental impact certificates, and transparent AI training and inference.

Mark Shuttleworth opening #UbuntuSummit2024 by looking back at 20 years of Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is unique in a way because of how interwoven the community and the company are. It is not a community project like Debian but it's also not a company project like RHEL.
Instead, it's a mix of both. Ubuntu is the result of a community and a company, working closely together to build a product that serves both the community and the company.

@flameeyes @marcan Yes, that is exactly what I mean. You can enforce your GDPR rights without you, yourself having to litigate.
The DPA will contact the offending company and litigate for you when necessary.

Litigation being prohibitively expensive in some places is a separate problem, and there are a lot of solutions for that. For solutions to this, take a look at how GDPR violation litigation happens or the French GPL violation lawsuits.

This only impacts their closed source competitors, not their open source competitors.
Additionally, just take a look at what Meta is doing with Llama. They market themselves as open source, their license is specifically crafted so that their competitors can't use it, and they get a lot of goodwill out of that.
Companies can do this with or without an Affero-like license. I'd rather they do it with Aferro, since that at least allows reuse in open source projects.

@marcan @flameeyes Note that non-EU SaaS providers are still required to litigate EUPL cases under EU law. This is very common language to add to proprietary licenses, but this is one of the first open source licenses to add such clause. Meta's proprietary Llama license, for example, requires litigation under California law.
