 He does realize that research at universities is open source?

It’s about time. CCP espionage and IP theft has been an open secret for decades. It’s time we get serious about our national security. Just last year, a Chinese citizen here on a government visa was found spying on our navy shipyards.

Some, not all. Beyond that, access to research findings is different than providing a top-tier education.

I don’t think so. Don’t tell this man about the internet where you can look up any scientific study you want.

Maybe I’m completely off here bc I just don’t know a lot about IP law, but if it’s open source that doesn’t mean it’s public domain, so ip theft can still happen and not everything open sourced.

So we get China’s best to come over here and do research for us and we only have to pay them a PhD stipend? Or for the undergrads we make them pay full tuition so they can subsidize Americans’ educations? Also there are existing systems to account for classified research happening at universities

No, you cannot. Many top research schools engage in classified, privileged, or otherwise secret research.

Which have a track record of being vulnerable to penetration.

I agree the government should do its due diligence in providing security clearances. Also the amount of classified research actually happening at universities is effectively none. Defense contractors exist for this reason

True. I have a friend who’s doing engineering research right now and she had to get secret clearance to be part of the lab

This is accurate. One of the main distinctions between open source and public domain licenses in software is that the author’s copyright notice must be in a license file within the source code so that derivative works are credited properly, unlike public domain where there’s no legal requirement for reproduction
