npub1yhj4ua6580h3w0kucwwrtwl4uv9pg7m2drxzplq5x3364jczp36s4h3h3t (npub1yhj…3h3t) all I agree with the nned for experimentation, but I think the current model can handle that.
More problematic is that in more than 30 years, we haven't come up with a robust public-private model for financing open-source software. It's all stop-gap, one-offs, small-scale donations or corporate sponsorship. There are exceptions, such as Wikipedia, of course.
It has been a huge, missed opportunity to create the next generation of public institutions (like libraries, schools, public broadcasting), but so far, we failed. There is a lack of imagination and political will, even in Europe, which has a large and successful history in this field.
