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.

Lets encrypt could run a patreon and stay funded. Plenty of people with money depend on them.

FLOSS projects can only be sustainable if their are enough shared interests able to support it through contributions of all kinds. Fortunately the code is free so that constellation of support can change over time. It's a shame this particular line of government funding is coming to an end but others can help.

I really appreciate that there's a text version for those of us who can't or won't use videos! Thank you so much for sharing it, too. 💙

That would be good for government to cut funding. Users should give away their own cash to support the projects.

Funders of any project can influence decisions, but users giving from their own personal money can keep open source software free from any influences.
