I think it is important to understand that this is a "fund" that is constructed with a strict frame of established public funding rules. It is amazing to see that it actually works as part of the German research and innovation funding at all, which normally requires a considerable amount of own money to be eligible (at least on paper which really makes it unfit for seed funding or developer funding). I think is a starting point and should deserve credit for this. On the other hand government should actually use open source and pay the ecosystem for it by paying developers for maintenance instead of spending billions on big tech.
