Issue #12: Funding, EU policy, licensing scrutiny, maintenance strategy, and AI pressure
This week: funding updates from GNOME, Django, Rust, PHP, FSF, Ruby Central, FreeBSD, NSF, OpenAI, CNCF, Sovereign Tech, and NLnet; Chainguard's Athena coalition; Supabase and PgDog rounds; Euro-Office, Conda, Akka.NET, Unleash, Fossorial, Snowplow, and Bambuddy licensing and provenance scrutiny; long-term maintenance strategy; foundation and consortium joins; and AI-assisted security and coding tools straining open source workflows, including curl's vulnerability-intake pause, human-review stance, CVE-volume forecasts, Agentjacking, review-culture warnings, and CI/CD abuse detection.
