Part 3/9:
Henry and Nathan express deep concerns over the appreciation—or lack thereof—shown to open-source projects. The government’s diminishment of funding risks pushing many developers to seek support elsewhere, potentially migrating to environments with stronger funding models like those in Europe.
Historically, European countries have invested significantly in open-source initiatives, whereas the U.S. government has not shown the same commitment. This could lead to innovation constrictions within the U.S. and harm societal advancements reliant on open-source technologies.
