Okay, I'm a decision maker overseeing some of those CICD pipelines belonging to a small corp (thankfully not the AI scrapers tho).
I don't make financial decisions, so I can't support FOSS from the corp coffers directly.
Other than caching (that we already do for security purposes), how can I limit our footprint in this?
Have you asked?
You need a price. If you say, we need this infrastructure or technology and it costs x dollars, that can be justified, approved, and budgeted.
In most places I have worked, “my department uses something we get for free but they really want us to contribute what we can” would go exactly nowhere. Pushing too hard may actually even lead up a directive to switch to something less problematic, maybe even something commercial (that has a definitive price).
