That’s not quite what I meant.
I’m talking about the (potential) relationship between a gov and repo maintainers, and whether that would mean less freedom for the developers, since govs are typically required to ensure tax money is spent on legitimate purposes.
As I said though, it was just a thought. Things like research grants exist, it could work the same.
