So, all these clauses where changed back in Feb/ March. They definitely had to agree to the amendments on their grants, and they still had funding until October

It doesn't seem to be a renewal, and they seem to have applied before the clauses were added. - - - Additionally, on September 29, 2025, the NSF posted > The U.S. National Science Foundation announced the first-ever Safety, Security, and Privacy of Open-Source Ecosystems (NSF Safe-OSE) investment in an inaugural cohort of 8 teams Implying that until that point, there was no distribution of funds as part of Safe-OSE, so no prior years of funding existed

      All of those are marked as "PURCHASE ORDER", I don't think the PSF applies for those. I don't think they are what one would consider funding

  It's not a renewal, it's their first application for government funding, and they turned it down without accepting the terms. This is all quite clear in the blog post.
