<p>I like this &quot;simply by copying the same stacks and calling them European, doesn&#x27;t change anything&quot; - we have a stack, and it is open and commons-oriented <span class="h-card"><a href="https://chaos.social/@samvie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>samvie</span></a></span> <a href="/tags/fosdem/" rel="tag">#FOSDEM</a> <a href="/tags/socialweb/" rel="tag">#SocialWeb</a></p>
