Yeah, I think we're still in the fog of war, certainly. But I will be looking at, do these exemptions on things like semiconductors and pharmaceuticals hold? Are we seeing the country-by-country renegotiation on some of these things? And probably most importantly, Bill, it's really about China. China is the second largest economic power in the world.

It scares me how big the tariffs are that we are suggesting are going to go in place on China. And I think it's imminent that he and Xi are going to have to talk and get a big trade deal done. And so those are the things I'm going to be watching for. I don't think I see any clearing event here for at least another 30 to 60 days. But remember...

You have a lot of, I think, understanding about kind of the history in China around open sources, around the history in the United States around open source. So help us unpack, if you will, What do you think strategically is going on in China with respect to these open source models?

So let me just double click on that. So basically what you're saying is they may have been fearful that they would have been cut off from other type of software products in the United States. Like, you know, there might have been export controls or other things put on them. So they said, I may as well support Linux because I may not be able to get Windows.
