I don’t care. Linux is for everyone. That means Nazis like dhh, genocidal regimes like the CCP and Isreal. Taking the stance of I won’t support x project if they accept funding is logically inconsistent and would exclude me from supporting linux. We already use linux which is funded by fascists.
Judge your favourite projects if they start changing their CoC or community moderation or any action which suggests a shift in values. If you try to fight on the ground that accepting funding is a red line you’ll lose. They will choose money over fickle support(non monetary) from a purity testing community.
Im hoping that the 18m funds a lot of maintainers that otherwise wouldnt be able to work full time. I really don’t want to see it going to stupid meme ai projects but DHH is a moron so it will.











How is it gatekeeping? Foss goes on with or without funding. The ecosystem is a lot bigger than one guy with 18m
