While it sucks that FOSS projects will have their funding sapped, let's remember why the open source model is used in the first place: it can't be bought. If it goes down, someone will just fork the last known repository and have it up and running again.

Yep. All the funding they've already put into it will stay put. You can't uncode FOSS.
