What would a computing environment look like that simply didn't support proprietary code on a technical level?

So, I'm sure this is a thing, but I know nothing.
I'm looking for a fictional historical account of how the world would be if the English, and specifically only the English, never colonized the Americas. Everyone else who did is allowed.
It's just something I've been thinking about recently for some reason.

Hello people. Here is my yearly post. This time I come bearing a gift in form of a keygen for a PlayStation 2 game Colin McRae Rally 04. You can find it here: https://p4t.xyz/keygen/
Warning: it is a complete keygen experience (has tracker music, but no malware)

Mijn sportschoenen trokken krom en krompen, nadat ik per ongeluk de wasmachine op drogen had gezet. Nu wil ik ze opnieuw kopen, want ze waren fantastisch, maar zijn ze nergens ter wereld meer verkrijgbaar.

one thing glaringly missing from most leftist, including trans takes on fatphobia and fat activism is the barrier to care many trans people face due to unnecessary BMI limits on gender affirming surgeries.

I feel like one of the most fundamental problems of open-access (including online) communities is the asymmetry of policymaking discussions.
If you have made a well-considered but unintuitive policy decision, and you have already done all the work of reasoning through the implications, an influx of new people will forever keep trying to recycle discussions that you've already had and are already tired of.
But the people newly coming in have never had this discussion before, and are not familiar with the rationale! And even if they are willing to 'take the culture as it is' and learn it gradually over time, it's very difficult to know what is expected of you without having access to the background.
And so you end up with the same discussions and arguments being rehashed over and over again, eventually burning out the people doing the policymaking and causing the whole thing to fall apart.
And so far, I have not seen any credible mitigations for this problem, because "read the manual before doing anything" is an unreasonable ask and so is "you will just have to accept that those are the rules", in the general case.

Today on Valentines' Day, I'm calling for research into teleportation to finally end the tyrannical, transphobic reign of Distance and allow for the construction of a truly world-spanning trans polycule.

Transphobia, attempted murder
One year on from when Brianna Ghey was murdered in a vicious transphobic attack, we're now learning of another teenage trans girl subjected to brutal transphobic violence.
She was targeted with slurs at a rollerblading party before being stabbed seventeen times and rushed to hospital where she thankfully survived.
Let's be absolutely clear, these are not isolated incidents - this is cultural. This is the result of the constant, frothing hatred and cruelty directed at us as trans people.
It's the fearmongering media who villify us as dangerous predators, it's the disgraceful politicians who lie about and dehumanise us to score points with bigots, and it's the bigots themselves who harass and cheer for violence against us.
There is now another trans person who will live with lasting injury and trauma, countless other trans people who will feel even less safe in society, and there will almost certainly be at least one young person whose hate-fuelled impulse will lead them to spend years or decades locked in a cage.
Virulent transphobia is killing people and ruining lives, and it's not going to stop until we rip the people fostering this hateful culture from their positions of power and bury their capacity to influence so deep in the dirt that it never sees the light of day again.
I never want to read another story like this, but I know I will - and that fact turns my stomach, it makes me sick.
