I don't think it really makes a lot of sense to look for FOSS alternatives based on country of maintainer origin when it's something popular enough to be shipped by a lot of independent Linux distros and supported by local IT consultants in more or less any country. That said, to my knowledge, lighttpd is mostly German in origin and is actively maintained. It definitively lost to nginx in the great popularity contest but I don't think it's really any worse.

If an app is open source why does it matter who controls it?
If an app is in Git, then you have a fully copy locally, so why does it matter who hosts it?
Git is and was absolutely decentralised by nature. Everyone can have their competely independent copy of the copy and can send diffs/patches as emails, text files, whatever.
Thereโs no concept of a central server in Git. GitHub is not the center of git. There is no Center.
Then because most young devs couldnโt properly understand git and weโre too lazy to learn, you all adopted a pattern called โrebasingโ which has now become gits default. It plays into the idea that GitHub is the single source of truth when it need not be.
Anyway thereโs an off topic git rant for you.
I know git
โ github.com.
I also know legal jurisdictions play a role in life, especially lately.
Thankfully the license is permissive and i've been preferring freenginx, but i was curious to know others' opinions.
There are better web servers anyways
Such as?
Caddy
I'd say comparing caddy to nginx is like comparing bicycle to a diesel locomotive. Technically they are doing same thing. One is easy to deal with the other one is designed to do things at scale.
I wouldn't call Caddy "better". It's what I prefer, but (at least back when I tried it) nginx still has some features that Caddy lacks.
IIS :-p
Heretic!
I donโt think so
