I have so many issues with German “sovereign” initiatives founded as GmbH companies. This feels so uncompetitive.

I have so many issues with German “sovereign” initiatives founded as GmbH companies. This feels so uncompetitive.
- pabs3 1y agoWhat sort of issues? They are just providing funding for open source, personally I would prefer that sort of funding to corporate funding.
- rad_gruchalski 1y agoA GmbH is s for-profit company. They have a managing director, shareholders, … ultimately it’s a for—profit org established on an insider-level knowledge and good luck creating a competitive business to the one of those players. Case in point: Bundesanzeiger Verlag GmbH.

I guess the government wouldn't fund more than one such org, even if the additional ones were non-profit instead. At least NLnet (similar org from .nl) is a registered charity. IIRC its funds are from the EU level though. https://nlnet.nl/ https://nlnet.nl/ What happened with Bundesanzeiger Verlag GmbH?
