This is probably the best way forward, to get world governments to pony up - especially since most of their infrastructure relies on it, even though they might think their favourite nepotistic contracter, that kisses their cheeks lightly, and strokes their hair, that they did not actually code anything lol

It's all open source? All the way down, baby.

I agree. FLOSS deemed beneficial for the public should be treated like common property, like parks, hospitals and schools and should be funded, at leas in part, by governments.
