Urgh this is so backwards.
Governments need to fund more FOSS not less!
Hopefully the EU can increase its support to compensate.
I thought the EU was reducing funding to FOSS projects and investing more into AI. I could've sworn I read that somewhere last year.

I think it was this event that I read.
