I know the German Sovereign Tech Fund is funding some FreeBSD development.

I know Schleswig-Holstein is moving to LibreOffice and believe some of that includes funding.

That I don't know of more is besides the point, which is have they tried?

They haven't lost their funding from Google yet, and the case ruling was only what? a week ago? Did you expect them to see into the future and predict this turn of events or something? I imagine they're very busy talking about this stuff right now, but 6 months ago they probably weren't too worried about suddenly losing their Google funding because of government action.

They've been talking about finding alternatives to being dependent on Google revenue for like a decade or so.
