The Next Generation Internet initiative has supported Free Software projects with funding and technical assistance since 2018. Despite its proven success, the European Commission made the decision to cut this funding in the current draft for the Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme.

    What a disappointment. The value of OSS should be obvious to all by now. We have too many people in power who don’t know anything about the technology they regulate.

        Interesting take. I don’t know much about how grift works in the EU. Is there corporate lobbying similar to the USA?

    And the DMA practically kills free software usage in enterprise environments.

        DMA is Digital Markets Act. It requires free software to comply with quite serious requirements that are hard for most of the projects to comply with. If the project fails to comply with them, all the responsibility for using it legally goes to the company that uses it, making it a not very viable option. That’s what I know.

          Isn’t this why all the Foss licsenses waive all liability?

          I think you’re talking about hosting, not code
