EU is already the biggest contributor to Open Source. And I fully agree that FOSS should be paid collectively like civil infrastructure. But we need to be careful with the freeloaders. Big companies coopted FOSS into unpaid labor: anything released with permissive licenses can be proprietarized by SaaS/Cloud companies. Almost always US based. This would turn European financial contributions to FOSS into a gift for FAANGs. This is why the European Union Public Licence is copyleft and compatible with GPL. But it's not enough.
