The government should just pay some money to maintainers instead of giving it to corpos. That way everyone wins, instead of just google because the code is in the hand of the public. Also google, please just like, politely, fuck off. We know you guys want in on this, even if we need an out. Everyone knows your worries aren’t for public interest but for your own pockets. FOSS actually supports a much more competitive landscape by not locking in users and allowing people to build on each others ideas instead of creating monopolies.
