    If the public are paying for it, then it becomes a subsidy.

    I agree. And its a public good. It should be

    And good luck getting the US government to require the code to be GPLed. That’s even less likely to happen than a public subsidy for OSS at all.

    true but thats how it should be.

    i agree. It’s a problem but not doing anything just harms the FOSS ecosystem. We can help foster FOSS ecosystems while trying to cutrail big tech. Cause corporations gonna number line go up.
