        \n
      • Global Internet expansion<\/li>\n
      • Rise of cloud and containerization (Kubernetes, Docker, OpenStack)<\/li>\n
      • GitHub, GitLab, and global collaboration platforms<\/li>\n
      • Stronger IP and WTO legislation, making free software more attractive<\/li>\n
      • Growing preference for transparent, auditable software in security and AI<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
