I wouldn’t be surprised if they started going after open-source as a whole and labeling it “communism” like the old Microsoft days.

So much of everybody's infra depends on FOSS. I think every industry giant would dogpile whichever politician tried to go after FOSS as a whole.
The government could give those companies exemptions or give them time to LLM-wash that open-source code directly into their code so they have no dependencies.
Those companies will be thrilled because they got the benefit of open-source and now are throwing down the ladder.
Good luck fighting the FSF and the GPL. The whole industry would crumble tomorrow if anyone dared. 1929 would be a joke in comparison.
