Why is Github, as a U.S. company, not asking the U.S. to fund Open Source?
-
Probably because the US government is insane.
If Github is so adamant about funding open source, they can do it themselves, too (though I'm fully in favour of the EU funding FOSS). They are literally owned by Microsoft.
-
The EU SHOULD fund open source, including but not limited to EU alternatives to GitHub.
-
GitHub is offering quite a lot for free to FOSS (and public repos in general).
I wonder how much cost they have for all the CI minutes they sponsor?
-
Yeah I find it pretty cool. All public repos have free, unlimited Github actions.

The only way the US gov would fund open source software if they can be convinced it can be used to kill kids in the middle east
-
TBH before the USA went totally batshit, they did fund a lot of open source software.
-
Yeah, some of the software and data they release (or released) is amazing.

And why is Github not making AI conpanies pay which just suck in all that Open Source code to monetize it without paying a penny?
