we live in a world where it's easier to burn $10M for a repackaged chatgpt than to have someone wire $10k for a core infrastructure project. sad reality, but reality still.

if you're motivated to do OSS work, the best bet is to figure out how to take VC money to do that and don't end up on some blacklist.

Just look at OpenSSL.

How important it is, how much it's used and the money they get.
