    Well, France exported a lot of socially important technology to underdeveloped nations. For example their “La Révolution” we imported in 1917 was core component of improving quality of life including reducing workday by 4 hours down to 8 hr/d, 5-day work week, universal literacy and later full universal education including higher education, universal healthcare and universal housing. Another technology we imported in same period was “Etat laïc”, but we lost it in 2010s.

    France certanly has something about it.

      There’s a bunch of things french are doing themselves instead of importing exactly because they want to maintain technological independence and promote local industry.

      I wasn’t clear I think but I meant that they certainly have data about the migration to Linux.
