    As someone posted on the forums there,

    FFS….the world is literally CRAWLING with billionaires made rich and richer still on the backs of these very open source products. Can not one…ONE…of these bastards much less a small group of these global leeches set up a permanent fund so these projects can go forward into the future without bullshit like this ?

    Maybe they should just do nothing, and wait for the shitstorm. After a week or so, put it out there, that maybe one of the big rich companies that have leeched off the work of open source for literally decades should, you know, STEP UP and support this critical infrastructure.

    A sort of ‘general strike’, if you will. Since that seems to be the Zeitgeist these days.

      They are looking to raise money this time instead of taking free hosting. AWS already offered to host it but they turned it down because they don’t want to be back to this state in a few years.
