Also, I don't get that an Organization such as the PSF operates at a $5 million dollar budget which quite arguably provides Billions or even Trillions in revenue across the Tech sector.

This is an unfortunate state of all open source. The entire economic model is broken, but PSF is one of the better operationalized groups out there. Not to completely change the topic, but to add context, the Ruby Central drama that has unfolded over the past few weeks originally began as a brainstorm to raise ~$250k in annual funds.

  Pretty bold statement with no evidence.

    Here's some evidence that he is, again, badmouthing the PSF without a good reason: https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-psfs-2024-annual-impact-report-is.html https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/06/the-psfs-2024-annual-im...

      Surely you mean "they are badmouthing". Enough to be expelled from the PSF. Some official report from the PSF does not invalidate decades long observations. I see increasingly that programmers rely on PDFs from foundations and official statements from bureaucrats rather than look at the source code.
