Element Software SARL and Element Software GmbH however are not. In practice I believe it's Element Software GmbH providing the European Commission deployment of ESS. (Both are owned by the UK topco, but at the current rate we might flip one of them to be the topco instead).
Subsidiaries mean nothing. Microsoft have EU subsidiaries also. And might means might not.
The UK is in Europe. Brexit didn't float the country out several hundred miles.
The Declaration for European Digital Sovereignty defined digital sovereignty as the EU and its Member States' ability to act autonomously and to freely choose their own solutions, while reaping the benefits of collaboration with global partners, when possible. The UK is not the EU or a member state.
Part of Russia is in Europe. Do you believe Russian products were considered?
And this comment chain adds what exactly?
It’s pretty obvious why the UK is considered more European than the US, and equally obvious too why Russia is not considered in that tent.
Pretending it’s not just so you can disagree with a comment adds nothing and is an example of why HN is so often a tedious place.
