As much as I think what you say in general holds, there's at least something against it here:
>And the PSF even recently took in $1.5m from Anthropic for, among other things: supply-chain security.
Yes they took money that they have to spend in AI to evaluate the new uploads.
Basically they got some free tokens, not actual "money".
Also I got a 2 week ban on the python discuss for suggesting that people who contribute on behalf of companies (such as microsoft) should be disclosing it. So PSF is as corporate as it gets in my eyes.
thank you for this example. It's always heartwarming to see such case. However I have this, maybe defeatist, feeling that companies take more than they give - in general. I remember working in companies, where giving away my source code to the public would require a ton of work approval and effort, which was heavily discouraging that. On the other hand, the companies want the opensource to take care of everything...
Maybe it's only mine feeling, so I hope you guys have different experience.
