    Perhaps not a practical list to find what we need, but still interesting to see the output from them. I didn’t see any ‘revolutionary/red’ oss in the list that couldn’t/wouldn’t be produced elsewhere, but It could perhaps be interesting to aggregate over several free nations like Cuba and maybe discover a broader pattern.

    I only found this general study about national oss distribution.

    Abstract: ‘up-to-date data on the geographic distribution of open source developers is limited.’ and ‘Compared to results from 2010, we find a significant increase in the share of developers based in Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe, suggesting a more even spread of OSS developers globally. Within countries, however, we find significant concentration in regions, exceeding the concentration of high-tech employment.’. So apparently not much data, or about type of oss/type of nation.

    btw. They use github, and while github is big, some open sourcers prefer the ‘not-github’ repositories, so the data might be biased towards corporate oss.
