We shouldn't be funding OSS developers. We should be funding everyone so that anyone can follow their passion without risk of starving to death. If OSS developers can build and maintain essentially all of our digital infrastructure in the time between "work", then what would happen if we gave them all the time they want? What would happen if every developer had the freedom to build up and improve the things our entire society rest upon? What does software look like when motivated exclusively by profit? You get Microsoft, OpenAI, Google, Qualcomm. What does software look like when it's developed out of passion purely for the improvement to the world? Curl, linux, git. Funding OSS developers is entirely backwards. It's trying to insert a profit incentive where it should not exist.
