I think by "local service" Mauro may mean, in general, open source
projects that do not require network access and that would not have
customer service in the commercial sense and so on. Some open source
projects still have logging or telemetry, of course -- I don't know
how common that is in libraries/apps of that domain -- but if so I
guess forks would appear, or people would run them in isolated VMs if
they are concerned about things like that, etc.
