Amazing, very good decision.
They do ask for donations, and what a time to donate, to show that moral and human choices should be weighted as they have been done in this situation!
Reading the article is wild. They were accepted for the grant. It's a cybersecurity grant too. Tools like npm will also benefit from it. Great!
But then government attached the conditon python foundation stops quote on quote "promoting DEI activities."
And if a lawyer decides some random thing is DEI, Python foundation would possibly owe financial debt to the government
Is it even a donation at this point?
A loan to be forgiven if every effort is made to be politically favorable to the administration. Its fucking insane.
