Any funding for Open Source Maintainers?

You mean, besides all the salaries that IBM and Red Hat pay to maintainers[*]? A lot of the maintainers are funded via salaries by large corporations (not just IBM/RH). How many maintainers' salaries do you pay for?
While its true that companies typically only fund/hire the parts of FLOSS that they benefit from, can you blame them? If you're favorite part of FLOSS isn't funded, why is it someone else's fault?

[*] disclosure - I'm one of the maintainers being 100% funded by Red Hat.

Selling security patches as a subscription service instead of submitting them upstream to fix the problems for all users.

"from upstream development through production environments."
"to secure open source software at its source and across the entire supply chain."
"Share fixes upstream so that open source communities can include them in long-term maintenance."
"Upstream maintenance alongside open source community leaders;"

Please read the whole thing.

An abominable abuse of open source.

You do understand that the freedom and licenses you're defending, specifically allow others to use your work for purposes you don't agree with, right?
If you're opposed to "evil" (but legal) uses of FLOSS, you're opposed to the core values of FLOSS.

Comment Dumped Grok over this (Score -1) 72

Grok was constantly say it was doing something that it had ZERO ability to, and I kept calling it out and it kept apologizing and then immediately doing it again.

As a guy who spend 5 figures a year on Ai, the last thing I want is that. I know Claude and ChatGPT also do it, but Grok was doing it CONSTANTLY.
